“A big problem? That’s why they called me.” First words from the “new” Roma coach for Claudio Ranieria coach who had announced the end of his career on the club benches after Cagliari only to then backtrack in the face of the Giallorossi’s needs.
The coach from Testaccio flew to London in the last few hours to meet Dan and Ryan Friedkin who, after the dismissal of Ivan Juric following the defeat against Bologna at the Olimpico, had started the search for the coach who should have revived the fortunes of Dybala and his teammates and ferry the team until the end of the championship.
In the British capital Ranieri, who arrived yesterday evening in the company of his agent Pietro Chiodi, met this afternoon with the Giallorossi owners in a summit that lasted over 4 hours and ended with white smoke for his return to Trigoria in what will be the third adventure on the Giallorossi bench after those of 2009 and 2019. Now, having returned to the capital, he has made these very brief statements to ANSA which in any case confirm the choice now made by both parties. For official purposes, all that is missing is the relevant press release, arriving in these hours, with Ranieri who will lead his first training session tomorrow afternoon in Trigoria.
