Claudio Ranieri has been appointed as the new head coach of AS Roma, succeeding Ivan Juric, who was recently dismissed. The 73-year-old, known for leading Leicester City to an unexpected Premier League title in 2016, is making a return from retirement, having last managed Cagliari until May. This marks his third spell with the Giallorossi, where he has signed a contract until the end of the season, post which he will transition to an advisory role for the club.
