Leicester being the obvious one.
But, very good examples happened in the 2000's and the 90's
Sevilla won the Uefa Cup in 2006-2007
Zenit won the Uefa Cup in 2007-2008
Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga in 2008-2009
Blackburn won the PL in 1994-1995
I find the Zenit example particularly interesting because they had key members of a national team who would go on to shock the world with Russia soon (although Russia didn't end up winning)
Can you think about other great title winning campaigns by non elite clubs and what happened after ? I think in most of these cases the key players were sold without the possibility of building up on it.
