Roma Officially Welcome Back Ranieri as Their New Coach | OneFootball

With a one-day delay on the schedule, Claudio Ranieri has been formally appointed by Roma for the third time. The meeting between him and owner Dan Friedkin in London went swimmingly. He was greeted by about 200 fans at the airport on Wednesday night. He commented to Ansa.

The veteran emerged victorious in a long search. Juric had been under scrutiny for a couple of weeks before getting the ax. He was one of the first coaches linked to the capital club. They examined a slew of options, including Roberto Mancini, Massimiliano Allegri, Vincenzo Montella, Edin Terzic, Frank Lampard, Rudi Garcia, and Graham Potter.

Ranieri is a boyhood fan of Roma, grew up in their youth academy, and collected six appearances before continuing his playing career elsewhere He helmed the capital club twice, from September 2009 to February 2011 and then from March 2019 till the end of the season. Throughout his long career, he managed a host of teams, for instance, Cagliari multiple times, Napoli, Fiorentina, Valencia, Chelsea, Juventus, Inter, Monaco, Sampdoria, and Leicester City, defying the odds and conquering the Premier League in 2015/2016.

According to Sky, he’ll begin with 3-5-2 and try to get to 4-4-1-1 eventually.

Our Take on Roma and Ranieri

It’s both a sentimental and sensible choice. They need some peace and quiet behind the scenes to improve on the pitch too. It’s not the most ambitious hire, but he’ll be able to handle the locker room and the fan base. His tactical flexibility will be an asset to make an oddly constructed roster work a little better.
