Ranieri: “First the derby, then Totti. The phone call to Ancelotti is an urban legend”

To everything Claudio Ranieri! The coach of Romeduring an interview with Gazzetta dello Sportaddressed numerous topics, starting from the derby with Lazio scheduled for next Sunday. The coach invited his team to remain calm and serene because the derby is prepared on its own and “the coach must act as a balancer, it’s a match that many people feel”.

It’s natural to also talk about the future. Ranieri is expected to leave at the end of the year to then act as manager of Roma and someone has also spoken of contacts with Carlo Ancelotticurrent coach of Real Madrid: “These are urban legends, the truth is that I haven’t called anyone yet.” Ranieri also proved cold on other names such as Cheer up And Gasperini (“I’m not saying anything, several names came up”).

Finally, Sir Claudio has not closed the doors to a return to the Giallorossi Francesco Totti: “I have to understand what Francesco can and wants to do, the day will come when I will ask him. We are waiting to understand from Francesco what he wants to do” his words.
