(Reuters) - Claudio Ranieri was honoured as Italian football's coach of the season on Monday for his extraordinary achievement in guiding unsung Leicester City to the most unlikely of Premier League triumphs.

Two days after lifting the English football's biggest prize, the 64-year-old was back in his home city of Rome to collect the Enzo Bearzot award, named in honour of Italy's late 1982 World Cup-winning coach and given annually to the country's best manager.
