Italy’s Claudio Ranieri was named coach of AS Roma on Friday to replace Eusebio Di Francesco, dismissed on Thursday after the team’s elimination in the Champions League last 16 against Porto on Wednesday.
Ranieri, champion of the Premier League with Leicester in 2016, already trained at Roma, between 2009 and 2011.
He also wore the colors of the team for a short period, at the beginning of his career as a player, in 1973.
