The Latest AS Roma News
Claudio Ranieri has confirmed that he will leave Roma at the end of the season.
Ranieri signed a contract in March which saw him replace Eusebio Di Francesco as Roma's head coach on an interim basis until the end of the campaign. However, with top targets Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri both ruling themselves out of the running for the role of permanent manager, some were starting to call for Ranieri to be given the job on a full-time basis. However, the 67-year-old confirmed at his press conference on Friday morning that he will not be staying beyond this season. "I came here in a moment of need for my favourite team," he said. "When this season is over, my job finishes." From nine games so far, Ranieri has guided Roma to four wins, three draws and two defeats. Sampdoria's Marco Giampaolo now looks like the most likely candidate to take over, although the club are also reportedly interested in Shakhtar's Paulo Fonseca and may have an outside chance of landing Jose Mourinho. However, unless there are managerial departures at other clubs, the present options all seem uninspiring. Have a view about Roma that you want to share?
