WesMorganGod Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 Already said in the past that he didn't like international football management. he knows he has struck gold with us, he ain't going nowhere.
EastAnglianFox Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 If he led us to the title or a champions league spot, and then was offered that job and accepted it, I still wouldn't have a bad word to say against that man.
Guest seanfox778 Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 He seems like a workaholic, I imagine you get a lot of time off in international management based on that reason I'll think he will stay. Club football is 10 times better than international in my opinion, can't stand it when there's an international break. I like the summer tournaments and that's about it. Anyone else feel the same? They just don't feel like real football games and I never get as excited as I would for a Leicester game.

Lestoh Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 nah, they wont be capable of playing the Italian-style football he's got us playing
Guest seanfox778 Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 wouldn't it be great if his last action in football was to lift the World Cup with Italy (obviously England won't win it That would be nice for him, he'll lift the Champion's League trophy with us first though
foxfanazer Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 I wouldn't stand in his way if he wanted to go. One of the games few true gentlemen. If this is his dream job he'll get my blessing and the owners will no doubt make another fantastic appointment

ScouseFox Posted 29 February 2016 Posted 29 February 2016 he'll be here for two years pretty sure. win the league, get us on the european map and bow out a hero leaving us with a whole host of up and coming managers from around the world seeing us as probably the best job on the planet.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 It is quite late for him to pick up the reins for Italy at Euro 2016. The World Cup in 2018 is more realistic, if he wants to bow out with the national side.
Sionnach gorm Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 " ...I have to have a daily relationship with the team , I feel more comfortable (capable) in a coaching job than being a CT (Technical Commissioner -the Italian term for a national team manager). but, even here never say never." "...Io devo avere un rapporto quotidiano con la squadra, mi sento più portato per il lavoro di allenatore che non di ct. Poi anche qui, mai dire mai". Ranieri Oct 2015 Corriere Dello Sport
KingKante Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 He reckons this is his last job, getting on abit now and if he does special things with us i reckon he'll bow out with his head held high!
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 I dare say... If he won the league with us, that would make taking the Italy job even more tempting... *He'd be going to take charge of a World Cup campaign, much more attractive than going for the Euro's *These opportunities seldom come round that often - it's a do it now or never situation *If it's true he'd be approached as first choice, that's very flattering *If we've won the league, it would be very difficult to take us any further... he may see it as an appropriate time to exit because success can bread further difficulties (keeping and developing the squad, increased expectation etc) and he'd have no regrets because he "won" with us *He may see it as a chance to right a few wrongs from his Greek experience (they were a mess anyway) *He gets to spend more time at home / in his homeland with his family. I don't deny that the decision would be taken with a heavy heart, but there are a lot of reasons to suggest if approached he'd take up the challenge.
AjcW Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 I honestly don't understand why the FM rule doesn't apply in real life. The amount of time a national job takes up should really allow for Managers to be able to have club jobs at the same time. At the end of the day there's probably plenty of times on International week where Claudio will leave training to his coaches with there not being the full quota of players there. On the other side of the coin being immersed in football every day and seeing developments and potentially going up against your national teams players can only be beneficial to someone in a National job.
Thracian Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 If we win the league let him go and manage his national team because it will be near on impossible to do aswell next season! Why would you dream of letting him go anywhere? For whatever reasons Ranieri seems to have gelled brilliantly with our current squad and if he started making us a force in Europe, as well as keeping us close to the top of the Premiership I don't see why that wouldn't reflect progress - especially if we also had the players capable of making a worthwhile Cup challenge.
Webbo Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 The difference between the Italian job and the Greek job is that a) He speaks Italian, doubt if he speaks Greek. b) Italy have much better players. At his age he'll probably never get a better chance to manage his country.
Sionnach gorm Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 He's always been a man of honour. When he was at Juventus he had a problem with a retuning player (Cannavaro to be exact). Cannavaro left Juventus when they were relegated and now that they were back in serie A he was ready to return. Ranieri did not blame Cannavaro for leaving, but he felt it was a lack of respect for the 6 top players that remained at Juventus when they dropped to serie B. He nixed it and the two others (in their triumvirate of picking players) voted yes. He said that it was the reason he decided it was time to go (but never imagined that they would drop him two games before the end of the season). For me this story is telling in that a promise, hard work, sacrifice and loyalty is all important to him. My guess he won't go even if he is offered the job. He told the owners he'd stay (even if relegated) a few years and he'll keep that promise.

I wonder if there is any international release clause.....
fuchsntf Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 I wouldnt begrudge him, in fact I reckon many city fans, would be disappointed, but would hold nothing against him for it.
Izzy Posted 2 March 2016 Posted 2 March 2016 If/when CR ever leaves us, I want that Flores dude from Watford to take over. I like everything about him and think he would be a great successor. But that's for another day.....

At his age he'll probably never get a better chance to manage his country. I would not begrudge Claudio one ounce if he left for the Italy job. For anything else, and I'd feel very sad (if not maybe betrayed?). But to lead one's country, can never ever begrudge that.
