Claudio Ranieri in profile: Clubs managed, record, win ratio, achievements & more

Ivan Juric's sacking at AS Roma has opened the door for Claudio Ranieri to return to Italy, following his stint at Cagliari in the 2023/24 season.

We take a look at the Italian's distinguished managerial career to date.

Clubs managed

Ranieri certainly hasn't experienced a sheltered managerial career, taking charge of clubs in Spain, Italy, France and England, whilst even experimenting as a manager at international level when taking over Greece in 2014 for a short stint.

The Italian, who many would describe as a true journeyman, started his coaching journey in 1986 at Vigor Lamezia, and we take a look at the clubs he has managed in his 38-year managerial career up to now.

Career achievements

Ranieri tasted success relatively early in his career, winning the Serie C1 (the third division of Italian football) with Cagliari in 1989, before earning promotion to the Serie A in 1990. Astonishingly, he returned to the club in 2023, 32 years after leaving, and guided the side back to the Serie A.

Ranieri experienced further success in Italy, winning the Serie B, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana with Fiorentina.

He was victorious in both stays at Valencia, winning the Copa del Rey and UEFA Intertoto Cup when first managing the club, before returning and winning the UEFA Super Cup in 2004.

His penultimate honour was in 2013, winning the Ligue 2 with Monaco.

Perhaps the Italian's most impressive honour is the Premier League trophy in the 2015/2016 season with Leicester.

Unable to strike Premier League gold in his four year tenure at Chelsea, Ranieri returned to test the waters with the Foxes, with the idea of winning the title only a dream. Leicester overcame all odds, and provided football with one of the greatest underdog stories of all time, lifting the title in May 2016.
