Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has been named Coach of the Year at the BBC Sports Personality awards.

The 65-year-old took over at the King Power Stadium in the summer of 2015 and steered the Foxes to a shock Premier League title in his first year in charge.

Ranieri received a standing ovation from the Genting Arena on Sunday and was given the award by Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill and his Northern Ireland counterpart Michael O'Neill.

Leicester lost just three league games in 2015-16 and have gone on to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League this season.
