JAKARTA - Claudio Ranieri will be AS Roma's fourth coach in 2024 to replace Ivan Juric. The position only lasted a while until this season was over.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ranieri will next be appointed to join the AS Roma Board of Directors at the end of the season.

The news comes after Ranieri and the agent, Pietro Chiodi, flew to London on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, evening local time, to meet the owner of the Giallorossi, the Friedkin family.

Vincenzo Montella was the main candidate, but his contract with the Turkish Football Federation made negotiations difficult and refused to let go of the manager.

As a result, Dan and Ryan Friedkin looked for alternative options with Ranieri on their list from the start.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Ranieri and Chiodi are negotiating the terms of the deal.

The 73-year-old coach returned to AS Roma as interim manager for six months, including the potential to be on AS Roma's Board of Directors afterward.

You see, the Giallorossi really wanted to find a reference point with experience in Italian football. Ranieri's figure is considered right.

Ranieri has flown again from London to Rome on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, evening local time with her signed contract.

He will be ready to hold his first training session on Thursday, November 14, 2024.

Meanwhile, the former Leicester City coach has announced his retirement from a professional soccer coach after leaving Cagliari in May 2024.
