What if: Roman Abramovich never bought Chelsea

#5 We would never have had the Claudio Ranieri- Leicester City story

Ranieri would never have led Leicester to the Premier League title

Claudio Ranieri’s name will be etched in Leicester City’s history books after the Italian overcame all odds to lead his Leicester side to the Premier League title in 2015/16. The Foxes pulled off what is possibly the biggest upset of all-time to claim the crown under Ranieri’s astute guidance.

The world, however, would have been bereft of this magnificent story had Ranieri not made the switch to Leicester. That, in turn, might have never happened had Abramovich not taken over at Chelsea and sacked Ranieri within a season.

Ranieri went on to coach Valencia, Palermo, Juventus, Napoli, Greece and a number of other sides after leaving Chelsea.

If the Italian had stayed at Chelsea for a few more years, it is very likely that he could have either led Chelsea to success or moved on to richer pastures elsewhere, which would have changed the course of history.
