Last Thursday, at the Teatro Lirico during the celebration for Gigi Riva, he reiterated that he "ended his coaching career at Cagliari", barring calls from some internationals. A decision announced for the first time last May, when he announced he would leave the rossoblù bench after the team was saved. Instead, for Claudio Ranieri , the call that made him change his mind came from Roma, namely from the Friedkins, after the dismissal of Ivan Jurić . Last night, the former rossoblù coach flew to London to meet the Giallorossi owners and this afternoon's meeting, as Gianluca Di Marzio anticipates, was positive.

The official announcement with the details of the new contract is expected soon. Roma will return to training tomorrow at 11am in Trigoria without the internationals, with the next match on Sunday 24th at 6pm at the home of league leaders Napoli. A challenge as a former player for Ranieri, who will lead the Giallorossi for the third time in his career: the previous ones between 2009 and 2011 and in 2019 .

Ranieri will also be Roma's third coach this season : Daniele De Rossi was fired on September 18, Jurić on Sunday at the end of the match lost against Bologna (2-3). In the standings, the 13 points are worth twelfth place.
