    This win is of course a personal triumph for Claudio Ranieri, a man who was dumped as Greece boss after a humiliating defeat to the Faroe Islands.

    "I always thought that sooner or later I would win a league title," he's told Italian state TV Rai. 

    "I'm the same man who was sent away by Greece.

    "The only dedication I want to make to everyone is to tell them to believe and give things a try, not only in football but in every area of life."
