Claudio Ranieri Returns to Manage Roma for Third Time
The 73-year-old coach steps in to lead the struggling Serie A club until season's end.
- Ranieri replaces Ivan Juric, who was dismissed after Roma's defeat to Bologna left the club 12th in Serie A.
- This marks Ranieri's third stint as Roma's coach, having previously managed the team from 2009-2011 and briefly in 2019.
- Ranieri is expected to transition into a senior executive role at the end of the season, advising the club's owners on sporting matters.
- Roma has faced a turbulent season with multiple managerial changes, including the departure of Daniele De Rossi earlier this year.
- Ranieri's first match in charge will be against Serie A leaders Napoli, a challenging debut for the veteran coach.
