All change: Luciano Spalletti (left) has been
replaced by Claudio Ranieri at Roma
Claudio Ranieri, the former Chelsea
manager, is the new coach of Roma after Luciano Spalletti
resigned following defeats in their opening two Serie A
games.
Rome-born Ranieri, 57, had been out of work since being sacked
by Juventus two games before the end of last season, when the club
finished second behind Inter Milan.
Ranieri, a former Roma player, was Chelsea boss from
2000-04, guiding the club to second in the Premier League and the
Champions League semi-final, but was replaced by Jose Mourinho as
the Roman Abramovich revolution got into full swing.
