Ranieri stuns Italy: Roma coach named coach of the season

As the 2024/25 Serie A season draws to a close, the Italian football community has named the best coach of the year. Interestingly, this title was not awarded to Antonio Conte, who is in charge of the leading Napoli, as expected, but to the experienced and respected specialist Claudio Ranieri.

The 73-year-old Ranieri, who manages Roma, won a landslide victory in a special poll conducted by Panini and the Italian Coaches Association (AIAC). He won the trust of 58% of all voters, leaving behind his Italian colleague Antonio Conte. Thus, he was officially recognized as the best coach of the season in Serie A.

Ranieri's success is no coincidence. Under his leadership, Roma recorded a 19-match unbeaten streak throughout the season, and the team found balance in attack and defense. He played a decisive role in establishing effective tandems with players such as Eldor Shomurodov and Artem Dovbik, leading the Roma club to the ranks of the strongest teams in Europe.

Currently, Roma, which occupies a high position in the tournament table, is in a fierce battle for a place in the Champions League. The fans are satisfied with the team's performance, and Ranieri once again demonstrated his worth as a great coach.

Following the results of the survey, the organizers announced that they are preparing a special statuette in honor of Claudio Ranieri. This award is considered one of the most important symbols of Italian football and is awarded annually to the most recognized specialist in Serie A.

For Claudio Ranieri, this is not just another award. It is a high expression of love, trust and respect for him. The way he makes changes with the team, shows confidence in the youth and teaches them his experience is an exemplary school for today's Italian football.

According to reports, the experienced coach could leave Roma at the end of the season. If so, Ranieri's successful season will go down in history as a new chapter in Italian football.

What do you think - should Ranieri stay with Roma for another season?
