Ranieri set to come out of retirement to become Roma boss

IKEJA, Nigeria - Nov. 14, 2024 - PRLog -- Claudio Ranieri Ufficiale OMRI is an Italian professional football manager and former player who is the manager of Serie A club Roma. As manager of Leicester City, he won the 2015–16 Premier League, a feat regarded as one of the greatest sporting shocks in history. Ex-Leicester and Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri is set to come out of retirement to be the new coach of Roma, according to Sky Italy.

An agreement was reached during a meeting in London today between the 73-year-old  and the Roma owners. The Italian announced his retirement from football in May this year after a spell at Cagliari. At the time he said he would only consider offers from national teams. Ranieri, who famously led Leicester to Premier League glory in 2016, is set to succeed Ivan Juric following his sacking on Sunday. If returns to Roma for a third spell in charge then he will take over a side who are 12th in Serie A, with their next fixture at league leaders Napoli on November 24.

He has already coached Roma twice. He was in charge during the 2009/10 campaign, when he ended second only to José Mourinho's Inter. Then, he was called at Roma's deathbed in 2019 when Eusebio Di Francesco's tenure had reached its end and wrapped the season with a commendable sixth place. Roma love their children and putting one of them in charge is a safe shortcut to appease the Giallorossi's restless fan base. The Friedkins seem to have figured that part out as they did exactly the same back in January, when they handed the Roma job to De Rossi to help the supporters recover from the shock of Mourinho's abrupt sacking.
