Laughter filled the press room, and Sir Claudio then added: “I have given you the title.”

Claudio Ranieri finally shows a smile after his first victory since his return to the yellow-and-red bench. The yellow-and-red coach then joked at a press conference: “Paredes? Champions are champions. It all depends on whether he wants to stay, as his contract is expiring. If I were the coach, I’d definitely keep him. “It depends on the new coach, can you imagine if I were to be the new coach?” Laughter filled the pressroom, and Ranieri then added, “I’ve given you the headline.” Calm waters regained for Roma as they strive to put a negative period behind them. An Europa League match against Braga is scheduled for Thursday, whereas this Sunday sees the ‘Giallorossi’ committed to an away game in Como.
