05, May 26th, early this morning, Roma defeated Turin 2-0 in the last round of Serie A this season, and the 73-year-old Ranieri also completed the last game of his coach's career.

Old coach Ranieri took over Roma in November last year. The team was at a low point and ranked 12th in Serie A, leading only 4 points in the relegation zone. After taking over, Ranieri led the team to a record of 17 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, and scored 56 points in 26 rounds, finishing in fifth place to qualify for the Europa League.

Ranieri announced that he would retire when he left the head coach of Cagliari last year, but he also came out to save Rome. As early as January this year, Ranieri once again stated that he would not coach again after the end of this season.

In 1986, Ranieli started his coaching career from an Italian low-level team. In the next 40 years, Ranieli has been to Cagliari, Napoli, Fiorentina, Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Parma, Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan, Monaco, Greek national team, Leicester City, Nantes, Fulham, Sampdoria, and Watford. He coached a total of 19 teams of all sizes.

In the summer of 2015, Ranieri served as Leicester City coach. After barely relegated the previous season, he miraculously won the Premier League championship in the 15/16 season, known in history as the "Blue Fox Miracle".

In Ranieri's coaching career, he has won 9 championship trophys, including 1 Premier League championship, 1 Europa League championship, and 1 King's Cup championship. But what is even more commendable is that it often leads the team out of the quagmire when it is in trouble, and is also known as the "Tubemaker".
