A look at Claudio Ranieri’s career
Claudio Ranieri’s greatest-known accomplishment is leading Leicester City to the Premier League title in 2015–16, which remains one of the greatest sporting shocks in history. The 72-year-old is currently managing Cagliari, a Serie A club.
Claudio has played for teams like Roma, Catanzaro, Catania and Palermo before he became a head coach. He started his managerial career in Italy’s lower leagues in the late 1980s, but Cagliari was where he really earned his name, taking them from Serie C1 to Serie A in back-to-back seasons.
He was dismissed from his role as Napoli’s manager the next season, which enabled him to advance to the UEFA Cup. He joined Fiorentina in 1993 and guided the team to promotion to Serie A before moving to Spain in 1997 to coach Valencia and then Atletico Madrid. In 1996, he also took home the Supercoppa Italiana and the Coppa Italia.
He helped Valencia win the Copa del Rey and UEFA Intertoto Cup, as well as help the team qualify for the UEFA Champions League. He has managed several clubs throughout his career.
The teams he has coached are (1986-1987) Vigor Lamezia, (1987-1988) Puteolana, (1988-1991) Cagliari, (1991-1993) Napoli, (1993-1997) Fiorentina, (1997-1999) Valencia, (1999-2000) Atletico Madrid (2000-2004) Chelsea, (2004-2005) Valencia, (2007) Parma, (2007-2009) Juventus, (2009-2011) Roma, (2011-2012) Inter Milan, (2012-2014) Monaco, (2014) Greece, (2015-2017) Leicester City, (2017-2018) Nantes, (2018-2019) Fulham, (2019) Roma, (2019-2021) Sampdoria, (2021-2022) Watford and then 2023-2024 Cagliari.
During his career, besides the Premier League, Ranieri has won an Italian Cup (1995/1996) and an Italian Super Cup (1996) with Fiorentina. Instead, with Valencia he won a Spanish Cup (1998/1999), a UEFA Intertoto Cup (1998) and a UEFA Super Cup (2004).
He has a net worth of 5-10 million pounds.
