Roma Could Keep Ranieri Without a Big-Ticket Hire | OneFootball

Claudio Ranieri is serving a peculiar role at Roma, as he’s both coaching the team and spearheading the search for his successor. The Giallorossi want to land a big name. If they are unable to, they might ask the veteran to stick around, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The capital club is coming off their best showing of the season in the Parma romp. The Premier League-winning manager has revived a few players. They have had 14 different scorers in 8 matches, bagging 2 goals on average. They had tallied just 10 in 16 games beforehand.

Roma are keen on Carlo Ancelotti, who could be tempted to take on a new challenge and already has some ties with the club, and Massimiliano Allegri. The new addition to their wish list is Gian Piero Gasperini. They could be the latest team to take a stab at trying to lure him away from Atalanta. It could be easier if he capped off his cycle by winning the Scudetto.

The Real Madrid gaffer played in the Eternal City for a while. His return could also pave the way for his son Davide to take over down the line after serving as his assistant in recent years.

Our Take on Ranieri and Roma

The vibes have been better, though it wasn’t hard to improve there, but they need a few more strong results to say that they are truly fixed and ready to climb the standings. The upcoming Milan test will be an acid test. Sometimes American owners simply like managers who don’t create problems and aren’t too demanding, and he fits that mold.
