Claudio Ranieri Approached Over Shock Return To Management

Since his ruthless sacking by Leicester City, Claudio Ranieri has had a few offers including one reportedly from Watford.

And they keep on coming but this time away from England's Premier League.

Antalyaspor have approached the experienced gaffer in hopes to takeover the club, according to Sky Italia.

Though the proposition of managing the Turkish club has apparently not enticed Ranieri to return to football.

Per Football Italia, Ranieri had a 'negative response' after holding talks with Antalyaspor.

The club currently sixth in the Super Lig have Champions League winner Samuel Eto'o on their books.

And are hoping to secure a big name coach to lead them to Europe and ultimately mount a challenge for the title next season.

But the chances of landing the Premier League winning manager seems unlikely following the initial talks.
