Official: C. Ranieri takes over as the head of "Roma" team

Having recently lost his job at the London club "Fulham", Claudio Ranieri returns to football in less than two weeks. "Roma" announced on their official website that the 67-year-old strategist will replace Eusebio Di Francesco who was dismissed from his coaching duties after UEFA Champions League failure. C. Ranieri will lead "Roma" at least until the end of the season. "I'm happy to return home. When "Roma" contacts you, you can't refuse the offer," said the coach in an interview. The Italian worked in England since mid-November, but he failed to work wonders with the "Fulham" team - they still couldn't rise from the bottom of the tournament table. C. Ranieri is well-known to "Roma" fans - he worked here from 2009-2011.
