Roma coach Claudio Ranieri spoke to the media after the comfortable 3-1 home win over Genoa on Friday night. The Giallorossi delivered an emphatic performance at the Stadio Olimpico to move up to ninth place in the Serie A table amid a five-match unbeaten run.
Ranieri, who came out of retirement to help his beloved Roma overcome significant difficulties this season, has hinted at his future after the match. However, like the gentleman that he is, the 73-year-old coach first thanked the fans who flocked to his team at the Olympic Stadium.
“It was difficult, but we wanted to thank the 62,000 fans who came here on a Friday night to cheer us on,” the Roma icon told Sky Sport Italia, as reported via TMW. “I thought it would be 30,000 and it was double. We will have to do everything we can for those other people because they love us beyond all limits.
“When they protested, it was because excessive love makes them need the most. “
Roma have appointed Ranieri as interim coach until the end of the season after sacking Ivan Juric in November. The veteran coach joked about his long career as a coach at Roma.
“Look, I don’t need to say anything. I already said I was retired and here I am back!Leave me alone! I had already been looking for prevention for a year. So I will prevent in the future. “
The former Premier League winner with Leicester City is likely to have got Roma back on track, with sixth-placed Fiorentina now just five points behind.
