The coaching certificate has been returned! The old coach of Rome will not change his retirement decision. If you miss football, go for a walk in the park

In the early morning of April 28, Beijing time, Roma coach Ranieli was interviewed after leading the team to defeat defending champion Inter Milan away, reiterating that his decision to retire would not change, and laughed that he had returned the coaching certificate to the Covelciano training base (a training base for Italian national teams at all levels, and also the football technology center in Italy. It is the only certification institution in China that has awarded UEFA professional level coaches).

In the just-concluded Serie A 34th round, Roma defeated Inter Milan 1-0 away, giving his opponent three consecutive losses in all competitions, and he also won 18 Serie A games with 13 wins and 5 draws. It is worth mentioning that the last time Roma achieved such a record can be traced back to the distant 2009/10 season, when the Red Wolves had been unbeaten in 24 consecutive games in Serie A, and the coach was also Ranieri.

This is the 73-year-old Ranieri coached Rome for the third time. When he picked up the coaching sticks in November 14 last year, Roma was still a defeated army that only won three games in 12 rounds, and changed coaches twice in a row but was only 2 points away from the relegation zone. The fans even played the banner "Get out of management and give me Mourinho" at home. The senior executives of the Rome Club were helpless to invite 73-year-old Ranieri out. However, they probably didn't expect that this move would actually transform the Red Wolf Legion.

In fact, Ranieri's third coaching start at Roma did not have a smooth start. Under his leadership, Roma lost to Napoli 0-1 and drew 2-2 with Tottenham, losing to Atlanta 0-2 to suffer a two-game losing streak and three games in all competitions. However, since the 17th round of home victory over Parma 5-0, Roma began his unbeaten journey in Serie A. After a 1-0 away victory over Inter Milan in this round, they have reached 6th in the Serie A standings, only 2 points away from Juventus, ranked fourth. With Roma's current state, it is not an extravagant to enter the top four and enter the Champions League next season.

However, for the old coach Ranieri, Roma's next season has nothing to do with him. In an interview, 73-year-old Ranieri said that he would not renew his contract with Rome again, but would become a club's consultant after the end of this season, and use the limited time of his life to travel around the world to enjoy a rare leisurely life. Ranieri, who was born in Rome youth training, was promoted to the first team in 1972 and started his career as a professional player. During this period, he played for teams such as Roma, Syracuse, Catanzaro, Catania and Palermo, and announced his retirement in the summer of 1986. Afterwards, Ranieli started his coaching career without stopping, becoming the dynamic head coach of Ramechia, and then succeeded in the Cagliari team, laying the foundation for him to become a famous coach in the future.

After that, Ranieri's footsteps moved to Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Premier League, leaving his own footprints in famous teams such as Naples, Fiorentina, Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Parma, Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan, Monaco, Greece national team, Leicester City and Sampdoria. In the 2015/16 season, Ranieri led the Blue Fox Army Leicester City to defeat the Premier League championship, creating the Fox City fairy tale in European football.

At the end of last season, Ranieri, who coached Cagliari, announced that she would retire after the end of the season and officially end her coaching career. However, when his old club Roma was in deep trouble, he finally chose to come out and appeared at the Rome Olympic Stadium as the head coach for the third time, and successfully led the team out of the predicament. The fate with football lasted for 53 years. Will you miss it if you leave? Regarding this question, Ranieri smiled and replied: "Yes, I know, I'll go for a walk in the park then."
