Claudio Ranieri

After quite some time, I’ve finally managed to write again. Fortunately, this has happened partially because I’ve had 2 weeks vacation from work but unfortunately, the other weeks I’ve just worked day and night.

As expected, Gasperini is off and in his place we have Claudio Ranieri.


Ranieri has quite an extensive experience as coach since his debut in 1987: four year in England (Chelsea), four in Spain (Valencia and Atletico de Madrid) and sixteen in Italy (including Juventus, Roma, Napoli among others). That’s 24 years of coaching which is exactly one year under my overall experience of being alive. Much better than Gasperini who had trained sub-20 Juventus and Genoa. He is known for building up solid teams who always almost get the title, leading Chelsea to a 2nd place in the Champions League in 03/04 and Roma also to 2nd in Serie A in 09/10.

I think Ranieri is exactly what we need: he’s experienced, both in Serie A as in international leagues and is conservative. He won’t try any crazy shenanigans (343 shenanigans for instance) and that is already a good progress. Additionally he is also Italian, so we have at least someone born in Italy who’ll be on the starting line-up for every game after Julione is back and this is good for increasing local supporters.

FORZA INTER!
