Roma, Claudio Ranieri feels at home again
Rome, Claudio Ranieri feels at home again
These are the words of Claudio Ranieri in his first press conference as Roma’s new coach.
"I had stopped coaching, I would only come back for Roma and Cagliari if it was needed. Here I have returned to the mother house, I am first a fan and then the coach. That is why I tell the fans to stay close to us. Playing at home with the public booing è the most difficult thing that can exist. I want a cohesive team and public. We are all a family: players, coach, company, employees. I don’t have time to make mistakes,” he added. “I have to make the fans come to the stadium and send them away satisfied".
"To Dan Friedkin I spoke to his face and he left me speechless because of the good he wants for this club. If he called me heè realized the mistakes. Iè was given carte blanche, I was called to bring Roma back to the top, now it is my turn. I will be the man next to the Friedkin family. Everything will be done together. We will try to do the best we can and I want to help so that Roma will always be in the top positions. Dan wants a team and a serious company".
"They are doing good things, but let me explain something: we are used to seeing things in a pyramidal way, the Friedkins on the other hand see things in a collegial way, decisions are made and will be made horizontally. Dan Friedkin è shocked today, he puts a lot of money and doesn’t see results. I hope from now on things will be better".
Then a clarification on Dybala, when asked if the ownership had asked him not to play him so as not to trigger the automatic renewal of his contract. "It's the first thing I asked Friedkin,” he explained, “I do as I please. I don't care about clauses. I talk to my presidents to their faces and choose who I want. Serves them right if not; I wouldn’t be here".
