A few days ago, Claudio Ranieri, who left the position of club coach, did not hesitate to criticize Italian football.
The specialist, who has also worked in Spain and England, led the capital team for a year and a half, but decided to step down due to fan protests and four consecutive losses.
"Football is heaven and hell. Compared to England, Italy is a true hell," Ranieri told Rai TV.
"But I want to continue coaching. England attracts me, although I also like the Italian league. This year I became a scapegoat in the 'Roma' team, and now there are players who have to prove everything," he added.
Ranieri indirectly criticized "Roma" captain Francesco Totti: "There were too many people who considered personal interests more important than team interests. In the dressing room everyone agreed that we need to rotate players, but when I actually made substitutions, this agreement disappeared. And even when I'm no longer there, someone still has to be in charge."
"There are players who give 110% to one coach, but do not agree with another. However, when I played, I tried to understand what each strategist wanted. I wasn't very talented, but I followed the motto: 'never give up'. In England, players are lions, you even have to hold them back. But in Rome, not everyone gave their all," Ranieri concluded.
