Ranieri 'Ready to return to management'

Claudio Ranieri has opened the door to Premier League job offers by declaring himself 'ready' for a return to management in England.

Leicester City's title-winning manager was sacked by the Foxes in February and has taken a break in the following months.

 

Now, though, Ranieri is ready for a comeback — and has welcomed potential interest from Leicester's Premier League rivals. 

'I'm ready (to go back into management),' Ranieri said on BT Sport.

 

Pushed on whether he would consider interest from English clubs, the Italian coach added: 'Why not? Where there is a good project I am ready.'

Ranieri is back in England after taking some time abroad and has recently completed media work with Sky Sports as well as BT.

 

The 65-year-old has been linked with succeeding countryman Walter Mazzarri at Watford but the Hornets still currently plan to stick with their boss next season.

Ranieri previously managed Chelsea in the Premier League but has experienced a nomadic career which has taken in the likes of Monaco, Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus, Valencia and Atletico Madrid as well as the Greek national team.

 

He watched Leicester lose out in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday night at the hands of Atletico Madrid and sympathised with his former players for being 'unlucky' in their exit. 'Leicester were unlucky because when (Jamie) Vardy scored the goal they created another two great chances to score,' Ranieri said.

'The first 30 minutes of second half was amazing. But the experience of Atletico’s players is higher.

'It was a good emotion but I was so pleased to watch the players do what I taught them. It was important to see them continue to play in the same way.'

I don't think anyone could wish Claudio anything but the best of luck. Yes, he was shit this season but he led us to our greatest ever achievement and that should be what he's remembered for.

 

That said, this is cheeky as ****  

 

'The first 30 minutes of second half was amazing. But the experience of Atletico’s players is higher. 'It was a good emotion but I was so pleased to watch the players do what I taught them. It was important to see them continue to play in the same way.'

Being linked to about a million different jobs, most of which still have managers  

Saw a Sevilla fan say he'd take Ranieri if Sampaoli left!

Most PL clubs fans are saying they won't take him, but I'd like to see him fight a proper PL relegation battle (without resigning in the middle of it ) just to see what would happen, and probably shut up people who are still going on about snakes etc

[Ted Maul]

An inevitable first successful year, and the endless 'told you Leicester made the wrong decision, snakes!'

 

Followed by an equally inevitable collapse and sacking. Wonder if Watford will get the snake treatment?

Its hard to believe he will ever manage in England again as most people think he got lucky inheriting a close knit squad on great form and when he put his stamp on it it started to go wrong! No big club in England would go for him and neither would any relegation candidates I think

[foxinyourbox]

Would be interesting to see what style of football he employs elsewhere.

What a pathetic man, the stones in that comment is astounding. Playing 'his way' would mean sitting back even when we needed three goals.

It's interesting how an alternative narrative is emerging among some non-Leicester fans where Shakespeare was the mastermind behind everything and Claudio was a mere media-friendly puppet! We know that narrative's going too far the other way, but I still like it better than the players backstabbing betrayal narrative.

Was trying to imagine what Claudio would have done yesterday at 1-0 down. I love the guy but it could have been embarrassing

[Guest Dirkster the Fox]

The more I hear from about Ranieri and the way he's playing the hard luck story to all the media,

the more I see/hear the trolls saying they all hate us now as we are a little horrible club,

the more I see of what Shakespeare has achieved in such a short space of time and the players are playing with freedom again,

......the more I'm glad CR is gone.

He would have brought on Musa and Gray for Albrighton and Okazaki, I think? Seems to be his preferred options when chasing games

Arrogant deluded old fool. Actually hope he fails in another job so people stop worshipping the ground he walks on

Lucky we didn't "continue to play in the same way" as we did at Southampton or Swansea away the score would have been in double figures.

[Finnegan]

Wow, there's some total c unts in here.

[Dan]

He'll be shown up elsewhere.

[Dan]

But good luck to him.

[LCFCFOX6190]

Unbelievable. He was very respectful towards the club and especially the fans. 

[Stadt]

If he gets a mid table prem job it'll pan out how it was supposed to here.

I would rather they supported someone else.

Yes it was the right decision but wow.Respect should be made to anyone connected to the team for last year.

Never blocked anyone before but I'm close.

The two statements aren't mutually exclusive.

Go somewhere crap and get relegated. I'll be laughing.

The sooner he gets a job the better, if he does bad it will hush all this snake talk and the bitterness around our club(if he does bad)

[Vacamion]

 

 

Watford or Stoke, you would think.

How can anybody slag Ranieri off?! Unbelievable how some fans treat him. The man deserves nothing but respect, regardless of what happened this season.
