As: Roma has agreed to let Ranieri serve as club consultant and Italian national team coach

June 9th, recently, Italian Football Association Chairman Gravina hopes that Ranieli can serve as the head coach of the Italian national team, and Roma has agreed to let Ranieli serve as the club's consultant and head coach of the national team.

On May 21, 2024, Ranieri announced his retirement after successfully relegating. However, in November of the same year, Rome, who was in trouble and even faced the threat of relegation, asked him for help again, and Ranieri could not refuse.

Under his leadership, Roma scored 46 points in the second half of the season, won all five of the five derbys, and nearly qualified for the Champions League (just one point away), and eventually qualified for the UEFA Cup. After

, Ranieri announced his retirement again, becoming a consultant to the Friedkins family, helping to find his successor, and convinced Gasperini to take over. He said he needed a break, but it seemed that he would be busier now than ever.

Because his phone rang again, this time it was the call of the national team. Due to the sacking of Spaletti and the critical situation of the third consecutive World Cup qualifier, Italian Football Association President Gravina decided to invite the expert who is good at creating miracles. Ranieri has been working in the coaching position for 40 years and he may soon take over the position every Italian coach dreams of.

Roma has agreed to allow him to serve as both the club consultant and national team coach, and although there will be no official statements before the key match against Moldova, there are optimism about his "will" and Rome's approval.

Gravena wants to ensure Ranieri's service and is close to reaching an agreement. Meanwhile, he also kept in touch with Pioli, who wanted to return to Italy from Riyadh victoriously and have contact with Florence as well. Currently, 73-year-old Ranieri is preparing for a new major challenge: Italy hopes that he will become the savior of national football.
