A child prodigy's ambition to play for Thailand received a huge boost yesterday when English Premier League champions Leicester City offered him support. Aiyawatt was accompanied by Thailand coach Kiatisak Senamuang, who is a brand ambassador for Leicester City International Academy, and Sombat Leekumnerdthai, who runs the Inter Thailand Academy where the boy is training. While the boy is in Thailand, Leicester City will send a coach to help him, he said. Meanwhile, Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri is cheering for fellow Italian coach Antonio Conte at Chelsea to succeed him as an English Premier League champion. Former Roma coach Ranieri said he had no plans to return to Serie A but added: "Never say never."
