Roma have officially appointed Claudio Ranieri as their new Coach until the end of the season.
It marks a return to Roma for Ranieri, who almost led them to a domestic double during the 2009-10 campaign.
“We are delighted to welcome Claudio Ranieri back to the club,” President James Pallotta told the club’s official website.
“We have one objective remaining this season and that is to finish in the highest possible League position and secure qualification for the Champions League.

“We are delighted to welcome Claudio Ranieri back to the club,” President James Pallotta told the club’s official website.
“We have one objective remaining this season and that is to finish in the highest possible League position and secure qualification for the Champions League.
"At this stage of the campaign, it was important to bring in a Coach who knows the club, understands the environment, can speak the language and is able to motivate the players. Claudio ticks all of those boxes and he’s very excited to take on this challenge.”
The 67-year-old is vastly experienced, having worked at the likes of Juventus, Inter, Napoli, Fiorentina, Cagliari and the Giallorossi in his native Italy.
He led Leicester City to the Premier League title in 2016 but was sacked by Fulham only a matter of weeks ago.
Ranieri’s first game back at the Olimpico will be against Empoli in Serie A on Monday.
