Claudio Ranieri in Cagliari

Cagliari has announced that it has reached an agreement with Claudio Ranieri to take over as the first team’s technical director from January 1, 2023, until June 30, 2025.

“I am going back to Cagliari: I always knew it, I declared it even then, at the time of my departure. Cagliari made me realize that maybe I could make it in my job, I had found all the elements that helped me in those three years: fans, players, managers, we were one,” the first words of the former coach among others of Inter, Roma and Juventus.

“In these days you helped me take this decision, not easy for various reasons. We are bound by mutual esteem and love, many good memories. I thus received discreet help but that I felt, I know you… That is why I come with unchanged enthusiasm, love and passion, but I alone am not enough, the help of the Company that strongly wanted me will be necessary, the work that I will ask of my new boys will be necessary, our fans, especially them, will be necessary to push our Cagliari to the results that we all strongly hope for. I am sure that we will all come together to push the team, all in the same direction, because that is only what we desire.”
