The Foxes have rewarded their fans with plenty of events and special occasions already, including a performance from world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli ahead of the team’s 3-1 win over Everton, the first match after the team officially won the title:

Manager Claudio Ranieri confirmed Monday’s celebrations will be the last before the team flies off to Thailand, per Miguel Delaney of ESPN FC:

Leicester’s title stands as one of the greatest Cinderella stories in British sports history, as the club held a similar open-top bus parade just two years ago to celebrate their return to the Premier League, per MailOnline’s David Kent.

Their first season back in England’s top division appeared destined for failure for the bulk of the 2014-15 campaign. At one point in April, they were seven points from safety, but seven wins in their last nine matches saw the club rise to 14th in the standings, a solid result for their first season among England’s finest.

Manager Nigel Pearson was still sacked in June and replaced with Ranieri, however, a move many questioned. He had been sacked from his last job with Greece after a dreadful loss against minnows Faroe Islands, and his resume had taken a hit in recent years.

The Guardian’s Marcus Christenson was one of many to criticise the decision:

"

Few will back him to succeed but one thing is for sure: he will conduct himself in an honourable and humble way, as he always has done. If Leicester wanted someone nice, they’ve got him. If they wanted someone to keep them in the Premier League, then they may have gone for the wrong guy.

"

Ranieri did more than keep the Foxes in the Premier League, however. His laid-back, gentle approach to the media immediately drew the attention and kept the pressure off his players, even after they made a fantastic start to the season.

He got the most out of his squad, and while many fans and pundits will point at the lack of injuries the Foxes suffered as a decisive factor in the title race, the team performed admirably without the suspended Jamie Vardy at the end of the season.

The Premier League’s traditional powers all fell short in the 2015-16 campaign, but that should take nothing away from Leicester’s extraordinary achievement. The Foxes have been celebrating their first ever Premier League title for weeks, and expect Monday’s victory parade to be another unforgettable occasion.
