New Roma coach Claudio Ranieri says that the Giallorossi were one of only two clubs that could persuade him to return to management.

Claudio Ranieri has been appointed as the new head coach of Roma. The Athletic reported earlier this week that Ranieri was in talks to take over at the Serie A side, having previously announced his retirement from coaching after steering Cagliari to safety at the end of last season.

Claudio Ranieri has described his return to Roma as "fate" after the Italian coach was appointed as head coach of the Serie A club for a third time. The Premier League-winning manager led the team between 2009 and 2011 and returned for a two-month stint in 2019.
