Ranieri: “I’ve had more offers in recent months than when I won the league with Leicester”

His first statements after returning to its technical leadership Romadid o Claudio Ranieri.

The 73-year-old coach replaces Ivan Juric on the “Galorossi” bench, while at the press conference of his official presentation, he revealed that in recent months he had more offers in his hands than he had in the period after he won the championship with Leicester, while he then made it clear that he wants the support of the fans and to see his football players give their all on the pitch!

What the new Roma coach said in detail:



“Before I take questions, I would like to say the following. I stopped coaching and I have to say that in the last few months I have had more offers than I had when we won the league with Leicester! I always said I’d only come back for two teams. Roma and Cagliari. Fate wanted me to return to Cagliari, maybe now I’ll finish my career here where I started as a footballer”.

On his meeting with the presidents of Roma: “If you know me, you know that I always talk face to face. I was surprised how much they care about the team and about the city of Rome. Now it’s up to me to achieve our goals with my experience and the way I work. I couldn’t say no”.

For which system it will use: “For me, there is no fixed system, except for the teams and coaches who have been together for years. Now, everyone is adapting. I will see which players are in the best condition and choose who will play. It’s not so much about the system as it is about “spitting blood” on the field. I’m a fan first and a coach second.

We want the help of our fans. There is nothing worse than being booed while playing on your home field. I want team and people to be united. Family. Even when things don’t go well, we want the fans to say we tried.”.

For Totti: “I don’t close my door to anyone. Now the most important thing is to return to the top level. Then, we’ll talk to Totti and see if he can help us. Be careful, this does not mean that Totti is returning to Roma.”

For De Rossi: “We talked and we will talk again in the next few days. Apart from being my player, he is also a great person.”.

For the people’s disapproval: “I read what was said about our important players, but believe me, they were trying and running like crazy. We can’t take the boos. If they are to be done, let them be done after the end of the match. We have to earn the fans’ trust with how we play.”.
