Watch Claudio Ranieri react to being delivered sausages in the middle of a press conference

First the wurst

What do you give the man who has everything? Sausages named after him, apparently.

Claudio Ranieri, the King Power’s pizza king, received a special delivery during a press conference ahead of Leicester City’s Premier League meeting with Southampton this weekend.

A local East Midlands butcher has named one of its products after the Italian manager, in honour of him leading the Foxes to the verge of the most unlikely title win of the century.

But the ‘Tinkerman’ hasn’t had the opportunity to sample the goods…until now.

Maybe Ranieri can cook the sausages as part of a pre-match English breakfast.

Well, he would be able to if Christian Fuchs and Jamie Vardy hadn’t used up the club’s supply of eggs.
