You think of Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, and everyone else really gets seen as slaughtered, not good enough.
But Ranieri's one of them managers who's been around for, well, 20 years, managed top clubs, big players, won cups, managed at the top level and just missed out on the big trophies.
And we still don't accept that as being a top manager.
Finally, now...
He may get the credit as maybe his career's deserved and you think what he's done.
And there's plenty of managers out there who've had great careers but never get the recognition.
He's getting recognition now because he's achieved something that
Possibly no other manager can ever match in a one-off season.
I know Notts Forest fans may be watching and get upset.
What they did over a three-year period, European Cups, of course, I don't think will ever be beaten.
But in a one-off season, what that man's done now, he's put himself up there that he will never, ever be forgotten.
This story will be told in...
fifty-sixty, maybe a hundred years' time, people will still be talking about this story, because it's just so rare, you know, that these type of things happen now, and those plays are legends now for a lifetime.
I think the, you know, we've mentioned Claudio Ranieri, and a lot of the players, I think Jamie Vardy won the Football of the Year today, and he's been outstanding, but I think Scott mentioned it before, and I think Arsene Wenger made a great point, I think he did an interview a couple of weeks ago, and he said not one of these players was born on the red carpet, in terms of none of them started in Champions League.
They've all got a story to tell how they've got here.
You know, none of them were sort of at huge clubs or went for huge transfer fees.
Vardy, the example,
you know, coming from non-league, Mahrez, how cheap he was, Kante in midfield.
They're the three sort of ones who've been going for the Player of the Year awards.
And that's what it is for players as well.
