Claudio Ranieri is a legendary guy. A total trainer. A soccer man who, after 70, continues to give lessons. There have been many hard moments for him, but those of glory, the impossible ones, have elevated him to the heaven of miracle coaches. In Valencia he lifted a trophy after more than 20 years in nowhere. Then he gave one of the most amazing bells in the history of the Permier League making champion to Leicester and now, in his last shots as a coach, he has done it again with the Cagliari.
The Sardinian team called him in the middle of Christmas. In fact, signed the contract for two and a half seasons on Christmas Eve. Cagliari was in fourteenth place in the table in Serie B and the arrival of Ranieri was a bet to save himself without stress from a possible descent into hell. But Don Claudio, the general who commands them, has done it again.
He put the squad in his pocket and was winning and climbing the table (only two Christmas defeats at the end of the League) until winning the promotion play-off, achieving fifth position in the table. In the semifinals they defeated Parma after coming back from 0-2 at home that had made things difficult for them and in the final they beat Bari after the draw at home. An idol who leads Caglari to the Seria A 33 years later.
tears and respect
At the end of the crash, Ranieri burst into tears. Some contagious and heartfelt tears hugged one of the team doctors. Excited and happy. Of course, when listening to the songs of some of his displaced followers shouting at the Bari fans “B-series, B-series” He went to the gada to ask that these jokes stop and focus on celebrating the promotion. That’s how it went. Claudio has done it again. His penultimate feat.
