The coach followed today’s training alongside sports director Ghisolfi, with whom he held a lengthy conversation.
In today’s news, Claudio Ranieri has been officially announced as the new coach of Roma (for the third time in his career). According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Testaccio coach, after introducing his staff (his long-time deputy Benetti, collaborator Spalla, and trainers Spignoli and Catalano), called a team meeting where he was reunited with three of his former players from 2019: Pellegrini, Cristante, and El Shaarawy. The Coach spoke clearly, calling for unity and identity, and emphasized especially to the new arrivals the importance of the yellow-red jersey and the need to regain the fans’ trust. Therefore, Roma resumed training, without the players engaged with their respective national teams, to prepare for the challenging trio of matches against Napoli, Tottenham, and Atalanta. Ranieri, donning his coat and an attentive look, observed the session next to the sporting director, Florent Ghisolfi, with whom he had an extensive discussion.
