Ranieri responds on when Roma's owners will choose a new coach. Was Ten Hag considered?

This season, Roma has changed three head coaches. Currently, the legendary Claudio Ranieri is at the helm, and he has shared insights on the search for a new manager.

Details: In an interview with Il Messaggero, he stated that Roma's owners are very close to deciding on the future head coach. The club's management has opted to follow the English model, identifying 7-8 candidates and starting to narrow down the list.

Quote: "Close, very close. I'm confident a good coach will come," Ranieri stated.

The Italian specialist also admitted that he has never met Ten Hag. The Dutch coach was seen at a Roma match, but Ranieri did not meet him.

Quote: "Do you believe I don't know him? I've never met him. I read that I had lunch with him, but, trust me, I've never met him," Ranieri added.

Reminder: We previously reported that Gasperini has already agreed to a three-year contract with Roma, which will take effect after this season concludes. It remains unclear how the departure from Atalanta will be managed.
