Claudio Ranieri ‘wild card’ for new job, very quickly after leaving Fulham role

Claudio Ranieri wasn’t able to turn Fulham’s fortunes around this season and the former Leicester City manager left the club at the end of February.

He’s been replaced by Scott Parker but the task of keeping Fulham in the Premier League looks to be almost impossible.

The Italian’s time at the London club hasn’t damaged his reputation too much, and Ranieri is already being linked to other roles.

Tuttomercatoweb report that today could be Eusebio di Francesco’s last as manager of AS Roma, with the club already looking for his replacement.

There are several options, and Ranieri is said to be one of those. The former Fulham boss has previously both played and managed Roma, so there’d be no problem settling in.

TMW explain that Ranieri could take the job until the end of the season, with a clause seeing a contract extension if he can get Roma into the Champions League for next season.
