The most decorated player in Argentinian history, Cambiasso joined the Club in the summer of 2014 before helping City preserve their Premier League status in extraordinary circumstances.

A winner of 21 titles with Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Olympiacos, Cambiasso recently called time on his illustrious playing career, freeing up time to reacquaint himself with the Foxes faithful.

I love the city, I love the Club. I feel really, really happy to come back. The truth is that nothing surprises me when it comes to these supporters.
