If Roma is not yet “attractive” to a top manager, they would rely on Sir Claudio for another season.
A Premier with Leicester, numerous successes around Europe, the championship comeback with Roma and the promotion-survival feats with Cagliari and beyond. If we look closely at the definition of “top manager”, Claudio Ranieri fits perfectly well. The technician, having arrived forty days ago at the height of the Juric disaster, is reviving Roma and is now vying (perhaps against his will) to be the coach for the next season as well. In reality, Ranieri is the designated one to find his successor and his list is not short of strong candidates. Above all, Carlo Ancelotti responds to all the skills listed these days: experience, mentality, knowledge of the field and the championship. Carletto, after plundering Europe with his Real Madrid might also have a desire for a different adventure in that city where he left his heart as a player. But it takes more than the power of nostalgia to convince him. One factor could be to “accompany” his son, Davide, who has been his deputy for years and yearns for a promotion. This could potentially be achieved in Rome after a couple of years together. And in the backdrop, Max Allegri remains ever persistent, even though he has not yet been contacted. In addition to the new entry, Gian Piero Gasperini. But what if Roma fails to convince one of these tops? Is it better to take a risk with the likes of Montella, or to have the guarantee of Ranieri? We’d probably go back to the plan mentioned above, the one in-house top. With Claudio, who in his last conference admitted, “I am at Roma’s disposal and will do whatever is asked of me being a supporter of this team.” In conclusion, if Roma continues to improve, another year with Sir Claudio on standby to become truly grand and attractive is not excluded. After all, Ranieri is well-liked by the team, the fans, and the management. In this first substantial month, he has revitalized many individuals (just think about Hummels and Paredes) and made significant choices that have led old senators to no longer enjoy past glories and the new ones to stand out. We’re still far from saying that Roma is completely healed, but few would have done better than Ranieri. And so the speculation could turn into concrete possibility over the days, with the arrival of another executive “who knows football”, but who can assist him.
