Fulham fans will be shocked by Roma’s reported interest in Claudio Ranieri
Last week, Claudio Ranieri was sacked by Fulham after a terrible tenure that culminated in the Whites being cut adrift in their fight for survival in the Premier League.
Yet the Italian manager is now being to the Roma job according to Il Romanista, news that will come as a massive shock to Fulham supporters.
Ranieri undoubtedly has a prestigious managerial career, with success in both Italy and England, with his title-winning feat at Leicester City standing unparalleled.
But it is clear to any observer that Ranieri’s best days are far behind him. His spell at Fulham was a difficult assignment, but the manager ended up making the situation at Craven Cottage far worse.
In the end, Ranieri’s tactics, man-management, and overall handling of the squad were revealed to be horribly outdated. Fan favourites Tom Cairney and Ryan Sessegnon were banished and treated unfairly, Ranieri prided spineless experienced players over younger and hungrier options, and his constant chopping and changing of the lineup failed to produce any meaningful change.
Of course, if Ranieri does take over at Roma after the potential sacking of Eusebio Di Francesco, he will have a far different task at hand and will be at a considerably better club.
Nevertheless, strolling into the job in Rome so soon after his tortured time at Fulham would surprise fans who suffered under his disappointing reign.
