The emotion and shining eyes for his return to "his" Cagliari , which welcomed him with a full Unipol Domus, the likes of which hadn't been seen for some time.

There could not have been a better comeback for Claudio Ranieri: the double promotion coach made his debut with a victory over Como (here the news and report cards ) which brought Cagliari into the playoff zone and earned the right standing ovation from the rossoblù fans .

He is under no illusions, Sir Claudio: he is " moderately satisfied " but aware that yesterday's is only a first step. " I put on my helmet and pedal, I know where I'm going, I don't care where we were or where we are now ."

In a day of a thousand emotions, even a curiosity. Several times Ranieri, standing in front of the bench, was immortalized as he spoke, saying something with his wrist close to his mouth. It happened several times during the match, what did he do?

This was explained by the coach himself, who at the age of more than 71 has fully embraced new technologies and uses them to do his job in the best possible way . A true professional.

Ranieri jotted down his reflections on the match using a wristwatch-recorder, a tool he needs to analyze the match, the performance of the individuals and above all the things that are wrong .

Like a notepad, with the advantage that since he doesn't have to look down to write, he can "join down" everything without missing a second of the match: « It's like having a notebook, someone writes, while I record so I continue to see the match and check the pictures. I was collecting on the watch everything that I didn't think was right. I was talking to myself. So with these new phones, when I watch the game again, I already know which moments to look for ». Not a trivial matter for him, who is the oldest coach active between Serie A and Serie B.
