    Leicester City, The Stefano Borgonovo Foundation congratulates Claudio Ranieri

    "Well done, Claudio. You deserve it!" Stefano Borgonovo would have said so to this friend Claudio Ranieri after the victory of Leicester City tonight. His side Leicester City are the new Premier League champions and Chantal Borgonovo through her Foundation wants to congratulate Claudio Ranieri, who was close to Stefano: they were in touch and Ranieri also went to visit Stefano to support him during his illness, ALS.

    This is the message that Ranieri wrote in March 2014, the day Stefano would have turned 50:

    "I am really pleased to write about Stefano; even today when I go through my emails I look for the ones that Stefano used to send me: they were always beautiful words, so meaningful, and it amazed me that a man in his condition and dimension could share feelings so deeply and communicate in a way that his words did not recall in any way his "illness”. The topic was usually football, direct and positive, from a man who deeply loved this sport; I keep his emails and from time to time I reread them to feel him close again. Happy Birthday Stefano!"

    On the 9th of May, at CONI in Rome, Claudio Ranieri will receive the Bearzot 2016 prize; Leicester City coach has decided to hand over the prestigious award to the Stefano Borgonovo Foundation.
