Claudio Ranieri returns to coach Cagliari after 31 years

The Hindu  

Cagliari has appointed the much-travelled Claudio Ranieri as head coach on a contract until June 2025, the Serie B club announced on Friday 31 years after he left the role. “Cagliari made me understand that maybe I could make it in my job, I had found all the elements that helped me in those three years: fans, players, managers, we were all one. We are bound by mutual respect and love, many beautiful memories.” Ranieri is best known in England for guiding Leicester City to a fairytale Premier League title in 2016, but he failed to work his magic at Watford as it earned only seven points in three months before he left the job in January. Ranieri, who has also managed several clubs in Italy including Juventus, AS Roma and Inter Milan as well as teams in Spain and France, takes over a Cagliari side which is in 14th place in the second tier after being relegated last season.
