Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca is delighted securing promotion back to the Premier League.

The Foxes are up after QPR thrashed Leeds last night.

I feel so proud to see the hard work of everybody associated with Leicester City throughout the entire season rewarded with our promotion to the Premier League," Maresca told the club's website. This achievement is one for us all to share and one that I know means so much to the owners, to the players and to our supporters.

What we have accomplished was not easy. There are many good teams in a very competitive league, but the work we've done together with our players to turn our idea of how to play into a reality has helped us overcome all these challenges. This is a fantastic moment for the Football Club and one we should celebrate, but we still have work to do. We're determined to end this season in first place and lift that trophy in front of our supporters at King Power Stadium on the final day."

He continued: "My thanks to Khun Top and his family, as well as our players, my staff and our supporters. The commitment to our vision and our goals from everyone has been so important in building the spirit and mentality that have brought us this success.

We've had to show determination and character throughout the season, but those things have also given us some unforgettable memories, with, I hope, more celebrations to come.

"All teams can go through challenges in the Championship, so we have needed our supporters to lift us at our toughest times, and as well as being proud of their team, they can take pride in the role they have played in this journey too.

"For the players, they have been amazing. They deserve all the recognition that comes with an achievement like this. I know they are all determined to win our final two games, finish in first place and share the celebrations with our supporters at our final home game."
