Ranieri had initially retired from club management in the summer after saving Cagliari from relegation. The 73-year-old was appointed as a replacement for Ivan Juric who was sacked after a series of bad results at all competitions. This is the third time that Ranieri will be appointed by Roma, he was first appointed in 2009 before he made a return to the club in 2019.
Ranieri has coached 18 clubs during his 37-year managerial career, as well as the Greece national team. The height of his career was the Premier League title he won with Leicester City in 2015/16 season.
