Claudio Ranieri (Italian: ; born 20 October 1951) is a retired Italian professional football manager and former player who is the senior advisor of Serie A club Roma. As manager of Leicester City, he won the 2015–16 Premier League, a feat regarded as one of the greatest shocks in the history of sports.
Ranieri began his managerial career in the lower leagues in Italy during the late 1980s, making his name at Cagliari, whom he took from Serie C1 up to Serie A in successive seasons. He subsequently managed Napoli, with which he qualified for the UEFA Cup, only to be dismissed the following season. In 1993, he joined Fiorentina, and immediately led them to Serie A promotion, also winning the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana in 1996, before moving to Spain in 1997, to manage Valencia and then Atlético Madrid. With Valencia, he won a Copa del Rey and an UEFA Intertoto Cup, and helped the club to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
In 2000, Ranieri moved to England to become head coach at Chelsea. His four seasons there saw Chelsea improve their points total season on season. After substantial investment in the squad by new owner Roman Abramovich in the summer of 2003, Ranieri led the team to finish runners-up in 2004 and reaching the Champions League semi-final the same season. He was dismissed by Abramovich that May. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
