Football

On May 26, in the final match of Serie A, Roma defeated Turin 2-0 away, but they eventually ranked fifth in Serie A due to a 1-point difference and missed the Champions League place. After the game, Ranieri, 73, was disappointed with the result. In November last year, Ranieri, who had retired, accepted an invitation from Rome's senior executives. Out of love for Rome, the old coach resolutely made a comeback. This is his third personal coaching Rome. At the beginning, almost no one was optimistic about his prospects for leading the team. However, Ranieri made up for the next six months.

Under Ranieri's leadership, the whole team of Rome's spirit was completely renewed and began a journey of chasing the whole world. Entering 2025, Rome has been in a rush all the way, and has remained unbeaten for 19 rounds, which is quite strong. When Ranieri took over, Rome ranked 12th. After the 37th round, Roma has already rushed to fifth place.

Before the last round of the league, Roma was only 1 point behind Juventus, fourth. Today, the 38th round of the league started, and Roma led Turin early and got 3 points. Roma fans have been paying attention to Juventus' game. When Venice equalized the score in the 55th minute, Roma fans cheered. If this score is over, Roma will be able to reach 4th place.

However, Juventus scored another goal in the 73rd minute. In the end, Juventus defeated Venice 3-2 and maintained the fourth place in Serie A, while Roma was very depressed and ranked fifth by 1 point. Next season, Roma will not be able to play in the Champions League and can only play in the Europa League.

led the team to play 26 rounds of the league, and Ranieri scored 56 points. If Ranieri had led the team earlier, this Roma could have won the championship. Unfortunately, there is never a word that can be written in this world. Of course, for Roma, who almost relegated at the beginning of this season, the final ranking of No. 5 is already excellent enough. In an interview, Ranieli said: "It was a difficult and wonderful season. I didn't expect us to play in the Champions League, and we made mistakes. However, I am satisfied with my job. I am very happy and proud." After this game, Ranieli will completely retire, end his long coaching career, and no longer coach any clubs. Ranieri said Roma has finalized the new coach, but he is unable to disclose his specific name to the outside world now.
