Legend returns! Claudio Ranieri takes on two key roles in Italian football

Reforms within the Italy national team are moving forward at full speed.

Details: Today, the official Italy national team account on X announced that one of the country's most renowned football figures, 74-year-old Claudio Ranieri, is officially returning to the national football setup. The experienced coach has been appointed as the new technical director of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and president of the Club Italia project.

In his new role, the 74-year-old will oversee the development of Italy's football structure, coordinate the work of the national teams, and implement the federation's long-term strategic projects. Ranieri's appointment represents a major step for FIGC, which is looking to draw on the vast experience of one of Italy's most respected managers.

Ranieri's last club was Roma, where he brought his coaching career to a close. He now begins a new chapter, focusing on the development of Italian football from outside the dugout.

For Ranieri, this is his first appointment within the FIGC structure, but his wealth of top-level experience makes him one of the key figures in shaping the future of Italian football.
