Claudio Ranieri bids emotional farewell to his beloved Cagliari in last match of season

Associated Press  

CAGLIARI, Sardinia — Veteran Cagliari coach Claudio Ranieri bid an emotional farewell to the Sardinian team as well as possibly soccer management altogether on Thursday. His departure was slightly spoiled as Cagliari, which had already secured Serie A safety, lost 3-2 at home to Fiorentina in its last match of the season. The match came two days after Ranieri confirmed he would step down as coach of his beloved Cagliari, the team that also launched his impressive managerial career more than 35 years earlier. He pulled off something of a masterstroke to help Cagliari earn promotion and then continued to work his managerial magic to ensure it avoided going straight back down, securing Serie A safety last weekend.
