Who is Rosanna Ranieri?
Rosanna Ranieri is the wife of Italian football manager Claudio Ranieri and was born in Catanzaro, Italy. They have a daughter named Claudio who is married to actor Alessandro Roja. The Italian manager also has a grandson named Orlando.
The couple often attends events together. They were also seen attending the UEFA Champions League final match at the Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid.
On October 8, 2016, Claudio, his wife Rosanna, and her daughter Claudia and her husband Roja, were all together in Florence during the world premiere of Inferno. However, not much is known about Rosanna as she has kept a very low profile.
Back in 2020, she was in the headlines as she attempted an online interview regarding Leicester City’s historic Premier League title win in 2016, she encountered a humorous technological glitch.
The former Foxes manager suddenly disappeared from view, to be replaced by his wife, when he was speaking on Sky Sports. When Rosanna helped her husband set up the video chat and went to a different room to relax, she never realised she was on live television herself.
Guests Jamie Redknapp and Gary Neville laughed at presenter Kelly Cates’s masterful handling of the hilarious moment, despite her obvious shock.
"Keep it together Kelly" 😂😂
