Claudio Ranieri revisits former club Chelsea as Antonio Conte prepares his side for Bournemouth clash

Chelsea were paid a visit by former boss Claudio Ranieri as they trained together ahead of this weekend's trip to Bournemouth.

Ranieri has been without a club since Leicester controversially sacked the Italian in February - less than a year after he had guided the Foxes to the Premier League title.

The 65-year-old, who enjoyed four seasons as manager of Chelsea at the turn of the millennium, put his new-found spare time to good use on Friday as he visited the Blues at their Cobham Training Centre.

Ranieri briefly spoke with Under 18 boss Jody Morris before watching on from the sidelines as compatriot Antonio Conte put his squad through their paces with a number of training drills and a seven-a-side match.
