Roma has reportedly made a bold decision to bring back veteran manager Claudio Ranieri as the club’s new head coach. Ranieri, who has already had two stints with the club, is poised to take charge for the third time, following his recent tenure in 2019 when he replaced Eusebio Di Francesco for the remainder of the season.
This time, the 72-year-old will step in under challenging circumstances, as Roma recently parted ways with Ivan Juric after a string of poor results, leaving the club in 12th place in Serie A. Sky Sport reports that the Friedkin family, owners of Roma, are eager to appoint Ranieri within hours to stabilize the team and improve results.
Ranieri was seen boarding a flight to London with his agent, signaling that an agreement is near completion. His primary objective is to finalize the contract and return to Rome in time for Thursday’s training session, marking the start of his new chapter at Roma.
Key Details of the Appointment:
- Claudio Ranieri’s Return: After a successful tenure in 2019, Ranieri will be Roma’s new head coach.
- Challenging Situation: Roma is currently struggling in Serie A, sitting 12th, and Ranieri’s appointment aims to provide much-needed stability.
- Finalizing Agreement: Ranieri is expected to sign the contract shortly and return to Rome in the coming days.
