"My motivation is not money," he said.
"Believe me. The money can stop now. My motivation is my love of football, my love of players. To try to do the best... I don't remember how much I earn every year.
"I don't go every day to train my players because I earn money. I go on the pitch because I am a lucky man... and I am doing what I always wanted to do," Ranieri was quoted as saying by the Times.
"How many great champions earn a lot of money (enough to live in comfort for ever), but continue to fight, continue to win.
"It's not the money. It's the passion; it's the love. It's the ambition. That's it.
"I meet so many players with a lot of skill and they make good money for one or two years and then they go down. Down! Why? Because they are only about the money, to be famous. "That is not where the strength of man comes from," he added.
