Grazie mille Claudio for your time with us and buona fortuna!

The greatest ever Italian. Forever a true legend.

Kept Cagliari up this season and their top goalscorer netted just 5 goals. The man is a managerial genius.

Kept Cagliari up and won his last game. Happy that he finished with the dignity he deserved.

Exactly this.

 

So happy he’s going out on a high. This Calgiari story is great and it’s a lot more befitting of him than those short-lived roles at Watford and Fulham. 

[Wymsey]

Invite him back for the Chelsea home game.

I just love him. I remember when he was the Chelsea manager and he was so endearing and I looked forward to his interviews as he was just so nice. 
 

i’ ll definitely miss his infectious personality..

At the risk of my post being deleted again I’ll keep it generic and boring……..

 

He was good. Thank you. Football.

Vardy should just be plastered around the Away concourse.

I never thought his dribbling was up to much!

[Vacamion]

 

He left his latest job on a high, too. 

 

How can you not be charmed by him? 

 

Pizza, Dilly Ding Dilly Dong, Bocelli.

 

A true great to whom City fans will wish a long and happy, and well-earned, retirement.

A king amongst men. Always conducts himself with class and dignity. I wish it had ended differently for him here but it doesn't tarnish what he achieved with us. Grazi Claudio

[cruzFOX]

The nicest bloke ever and our leader during the greatest season and sporting story ever told. Forever a foxes legend. Grazi Claudio!

We need a testimonial. Get the statue ready. Name a stand after him. Have a fantastic retirement Claudio, and thanks for the greatest moment of our lives.

True gentleman and genuinely nice person that everyone seems to like.. an absolute rarity in football.

 

Thanks for bringing us the title Claudio and congratulations on a fantastic career. Enjoy your retirement

Get so emotional thinking about this bloke. He deserves all the happiness in the world. Grazie di tutto Claudio.

[The whole world smiles]

He seemed to struggle after leaving Leicester but great to see him bow out on a massive high keeping Cagliari up after getting them promoted last season. Cagliari was his first sucess in management over 30 years ago so it's great that a story book career gets a story book ending. However I would not be surprised to see him pop up and take another Job in Italy somehow true football men like Claudio always really struggle to stay retired even as 80 approaches.
