A wait lasting thirty-one and a half years, which ended at 10.21 this morning. Hundreds of Cagliari fans have just welcomed the great return of Claudio Ranieri, formally new rossoblù coach since Sunday and returning to Sardinia after the triumphal experience from 1988 to 1991, with double promotion from C1 to A and subsequent salvation.

"I'm very excited, see you at the stadium", his only words in the crowd.

Banners, choirs, flags and scarves: a long hug for one of the most glorious coaches in the history of Cagliari, who after a brilliant career around Europe (with the unforgettable Premier League feat won with Leicester City in 2016) has responded to the rossoblù call with great enthusiasm.

A crowd that has been waiting for him since 9.30 this morning, and who are now awaiting his new debut on the pitch on Saturday 14 January at the Domus with Como. With Ranieri (who will have the conference at the stadium at 11.30) the staff has also arrived, where the deputy is Paolo Benetti.
