The historic coach Claudio Ranieri is in negotiations to become the new coach of Roma, marking his third term at the helm of the Italian capital team. According to Sky Sports, the 73-year-old Italian coach would come out of retirement to lead the institution where he started his football career and fulfill the dream of lifting the Serie A title with the club.
With Ranieri's possible arrival, the situation of Leandro Paredes and Paulo Dybala in the team could experience unexpected changes. Both players did not have many opportunities and had lost their starting positions under the orders of the previous coach, Ivan Juric. Paredes, who was a key piece in Danielle De Rossi's scheme, lost continuity after the latter's dismissal, leading to rumors about a possible return to Boca Juniors, his home club.
Ranieri's arrival could alter Paredes' plans, giving him more playing time and making him reconsider his return to Boca to be under the direction of Fernando Gago. On the other hand, Dybala could also return to the starting lineup if Ranieri decides so, which could mean an opportunity for the Córdoba player to regain his best form after several injuries that kept him away from the pitch.
Claudio Ranieri has an extensive track record, highlighted by his most emblematic achievement in the 2015/2016 season by leading Leicester City to win the Premier League in England. Additionally, he has won trophies with teams such as Valencia, Fiorentina, Monaco, and Cagliari throughout his coaching career.
