Claudio Ranieri

Would anyone take Ranieri? The guy knows the Premier league and did well with Chelsea before they had Romans money and also did incredible with Leicester. Thoughts on the Tinkerman?

I haven't followed his career since Leicester. How's he been doing?

Hell yeah i would. He got a lot of fight out of those Leicester players so could do the same with ours.

This is a great shout! No idea why he's not been mentioned - considerably better than a few of the other options that have been banded around recently!!

Tactically I seem to remember him trying to keep it tight and nick goals on the counter attack. That quite typical Cattenacio Italian style. Might even suit our squad enough to keep us up. But I've no idea how he's been doing recently.

Ranieri has been manager of Sampdoria the last couple of seasons.
In his first season they finished 15th, after they were bottom when he took over.
Last season he took them up to 9th place.
He did not renew his contract and left the club.

I’m surprised Nigel Pearson not been mentioned. He made that team

Manager of Bristol C who have just signed Matty James from Leicester.
Perason signed James for Leicester from Man Utd.

Mega knowledge that willo. Must admit I really didn’t get along with your posts when we were in the standing/seating debates. I’ve enjoyed the willopedia knocking but you are here, respectful and post things like that which I expect no one else knew.. or at least not many… for what it’s worth and respecting confidences I have a pal at Leicester and he said ranieri arrived had a look around and said carry on. To the extent that his goalie coach went home to Italy.

This is most kind of you,thank you very much.

Apropos Goalkeeper coach, Mike Stowell was the coach when Ranieri was at Leicester, is still there and has been at the club for several years.

Regards Leicester, the season after they won the title it all went sour for Ranieri and he was relieved of his services after 25 PL games with the team in 17th place.
Craig Shakespeare took over as caretaker and they ended the season in 12th place.

And clearly there for good reason. No need for assistance

It didn't work out for Claudio at Fulham, but they all have their successes and failures, I think the Fulham job puts people off, but the more I think of this the more the idea seems a good one. If there are betting moves I may keep the to myself after the last experience, I've been in shock for two days.

An excellent shout. Just put a post on the Meet our New Manager thread saying all of those that are possible and linked with us have drawbacks that make them unappealing and we should look elsewhere. This is an excellent choice.

Ranieri took over at Fulham with the club bottom of the table on 5 pts after 12 games.

He was at Fulham for 16 PL games during which they collected 12 pts and when he departed they were 19th in the table.They went down that season.
Under Ranieri Fulham lost 2-1 at home to Oldham in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.

Ranieri is an interesting suggestion but how would the people who thought Roy was too old welcome him seeing he’s 70 later this year?

 
MersthamEagle Flag Merstham 26 Jun 21 10.26am

Would be an excellent appointment. Certainly has all the tactical knowledge, man management and experience. I also think he’s the type of name that would attract all types of players ie younger and older.

I’m just not sure we could attract him. He’s the type who could land a big 6 job across the main leagues if one of them has a bad start etc

I think there is a very strong argument that many who were Roy out would have Roy back now.
