Girard - We did it, so can Leicester
In 2012, the unglamorous French side Montpellier did to Ligue 1 what Leicester City are doing to the Premier League this season. And they managed to finish the job.
Their entire playing budget - 33m euros (拢25m) - was less than what rivals Paris St-Germain paid for Javier Pastore, but somehow they managed to shock French football by finishing above Lille, Lyon, Marseille and Carlo Ancelotti's PSG to win the first league title in their history.
So with 10 games to go, can table-topping Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri learn from Montpellier's success story four years ago?
Manager Rene Girard tells us how Montpellier finished the job.
