Claudio Ranieri will make his Soccer Aid debut by taking charge of the Rest of the World, as the event celebrates its 10th anniversary this June.

Taking place on Sunday 5 June at Manchester United’s Old Trafford, Soccer Aid 2016 will see two star-studded squads come together to raise money for Unicef – the world’s leading children’s organisation.

While Ranieri will manage the Rest of the World, Jose Mourinho and Sam Allardyce will pair up to take charge of an England side that includes the likes of Unicef UK Ambassador Robbie Williams, TV personality Bradley Walsh and One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson.

Meanwhile, under the stewardship of the Leicester City boss will be Unicef UK Ambassador and captain Michael Sheen, Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay and TV presenter Nicky Byrne.

Ranieri said: “Soccer Aid is a fantastic event, raising money for an amazing children’s charity in Unicef. For Soccer Aid’s 10th anniversary, it is a great honour that Robbie Williams has asked me to manage the Rest of the World XI and I’m looking forward to helping them defend their title!"

Soccer Aid is the brainchild of Robbie Williams and Jonathan Wilkes and 100% of all public donations will go towards supporting the vital work of Unicef.

The money raised through profits from ticket sales will add to the incredible £17 million that has already been raised for Unicef to help provide children life-saving food, vaccines and clean water, as well as protecting them from violence, exploitation and abuse.
