Claudio Ranieri returns to Cagliari after 31 years
The Italian Claudio Ranieri was appointed coach of the Cagliari team of the 2nd Italian soccer league (Serie B), which Fabio Liverani left vacant. The Cagliari Club announced that Ranieri, who will take office from January 1, has signed a contract until June 30, 2025.
The experienced manager, who returned to Cagliari after 31 years, where he took charge in 1988-1991 at the start of his career, had managed to lead his team from Serie C to Serie A in his first term.
The 71-year-old coach, who later led many teams such as Napoli, Fiorentina, Valencia, Atlético Madrid, Chelsea, Parma, Juventus, Roma, Inter, Monaco and finally worked at Watford, won the Premier League championship with Leicester City in the 2015-2016 season, had unforgettable success.
Cagliari, which fell short of expectations this season in Serie B and accumulated 22 points in 18 weeks, ranks 14th. (BRITISH AUTOMOBILE CLUB)
