Claudio Ranieri Confirms Departure from AS Roma at Season's End
AS Roma's interim head coach, Claudio Ranieri, has confirmed that the club is actively seeking a new manager for the upcoming season, as he plans to transition into a senior executive role.
Claudio Ranieri, who took over as interim head coach of AS Roma following the dismissal of Ivan Juric, has confirmed that he will step down at the end of the current season. The club is actively searching for a new manager to lead the team in the next campaign.
In a press conference ahead of Roma's UEFA Europa League match against Braga, Ranieri addressed the team's preparations and individual player performances. He noted that all players, except Bryan Cristante, are in good health and emphasized the importance of delivering strong performances in every match to foster a competitive spirit within the squad.
Regarding the club's managerial plans, Ranieri stated, 'We are looking for a good coach for the next season. Yes, it's true. We are trying to avoid making a wrong choice.' This aligns with reports that he will transition into a senior executive role, advising the club's ownership on sporting matters and assisting in the selection of the new head coach.
Ranieri's current tenure marks his third stint with AS Roma. His return was intended to stabilize the team during a tumultuous season, with the understanding that his role would evolve into an advisory position once a permanent head coach is appointed.
