Like after a hangover, the Cagliari fans look for confirmation the next day. Yes, Claudio Ranieri is once again the master of the rossoblù bench.

A contract until 2025, at the end of a complicated negotiation. But in the end the will of the parties prevailed. That of Ranieri to return to the city that had launched him into great football and that of president Giulini, who after Liverani's sacking relied exclusively on the Roman coach, without even thinking of a "Plan B".

In the next few days the staff will be defined, with the only certainty of the deputy historian Paolo Benetti. Ranieri, for now, postpones the landing at Elmas.

Better to keep the team calm, in view of the match on Monday afternoon (3.00 pm) at the Domus with Cosenza, with the bench entrusted to the club manager Roberto Muzzi.

Team that, since Wednesday, has been working in retreat in Asseminello. But tonight, following a decision by sporting director Bonato, the rossoblù will have a little break. Everyone will be able to go home for a few hours, the time to celebrate Christmas Eve with the family, and then return to the sports center and resume training camp.

Mancosu, Rog and Deiola are still absent against Cosenza. We hope for a last-minute recovery, at least for the bench, of Di Pardo, who has partially returned to the group. For the rest, it is difficult to think of revolutions, with Muzzi who should bet on the team chosen by Liverani, with the return of Barreca in defense and the confirmation of the Lapadula-Pavoletti couple in attack.
