For Claudio Ranieri His third term as Roma coach began yesterday. The coach, announced by the club yesterday, will lead the team until the end of the season and then take on a managerial role. Tomorrow, at 1pm in Trigoria, Ranieri himself will be presented to the press and fans, an event that you can follow live on the pages of TMW.
This is the note with Roma’s announcement: “AS Roma is pleased to announce that Claudio Ranieri is the new Technical Manager of the First Team. At the end of the season he will take on a senior management role: he will be consultant to the Owners for all sporting matters of the club. The search for a new coach will continue in the coming months and Claudio will also have a say in this decision. Roman by birth, a lifelong Roma supporter, after having worn the Giallorossi shirt as a footballer in the 1973-74 season and having held the position of coach at two different times (from 2009 to 2011 and in 2019), he represents a symbol of the Club’s values and is one of the most appreciated Roman sportsmen in the world. Ranieri brings with him his enormous wealth of knowledge and experience gained between Serie A, Premier League, La Liga and Ligue 1, leading the best top clubs in Europe and winning historic titles, such as the one obtained at the helm of Leicester in 2016. The Club wishes the coach the best of luck in his work in this new chapter of his exciting career, certain that he will represent added value for the team and for the whole of AS Roma. Go Rome and welcome home Mister!”.
Now about ten days before the resumption of the championship to restore certainty to the team and to pass the first technical and tactical notions, with the knowledge that the start of his adventure will be decidedly uphill. In fact, the calendar does not help the coach from Testaccio who on Sunday 24 November, when the championship resumes, will immediately challenge league leaders Napoli at Maradona. Then the Europa League away match against Tottenham, in a match that must not be missed in order not to jeopardize the standings and possible qualification for the direct elimination phase. Upon returning to Italy, here is the match against Gasperini’s Atalanta on 2 December at the Olimpico. Three immediate challenges for strong hearts, in which it will be seen quite quickly whether Roma will be healed or not.
