Almost 12 years since Chelsea fired him, Claudio Ranieri returned to Stamford Bridge as an unlikely Premier League champion with Leicester City on Sunday and the Blues paid their visitors and former manager due respect.
The Italian coach shook hands with his former employer Roman Abramovich inside the stadium as the two sides met in the final game of the season.
As the players emerged from the tunnel, last season's title winners gave the newly crowned champions a guard of honour, which Ranieri strolled through on his own with a big smile.
The 64-year-old was also presented with commemorative plate in front of the crowd in a classy pre-match tribute.
