&lt;p&gt;The third chapter of &lt;strong&gt;Claudio Ranieri&lt;/strong&gt; in the &lt;strong&gt;Roma &lt;/strong&gt;dugout begins. A few months ago, after his adventure with &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt;, the 73 year old announced his retirement, stating that he would have only changed his mind for a national side. But the heart always leads. Just a piazza would’ve enabled him to change his mind and make the return to pitchside at the age of 73, for a new experience as a manager of a club: the team from his native city, Roma.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Claudio Ranieri - firstly played - but then managed many teams in his career.

He took the place of Luciano Spalletti after just two league games and went on to manage the side from the capital until &lt;strong&gt;February 2011&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second adventure, instead, came in &lt;strong&gt;March 2019&lt;/strong&gt;, when he came in to replace Eusebio Di Francesco to guide Roma until the end of the season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;609197e1-0503-4fb0-b1fc-e93aa9ecc559&#34; data-image-id=&#34;609197e1-0503-4fb0-b1fc-e93aa9ecc559&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/263e82df-9c37-4c34-b408-66bf7d54b191/Sito_HERO_Ranieri_Roma.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;609197e1-0503-4fb0-b1fc-e93aa9ecc559&#34; data-image-id=&#34;609197e1-0503-4fb0-b1fc-e93aa9ecc559&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this case, the Roma Head Coach iconically stated before his first match that: “I returned because it’s Roma, I wouldn’t have taken a job anywhere else, but if Roma call, I have to say yes”. There are no better words to express &lt;strong&gt;love and passion&lt;/strong&gt; for a team, because, in the end, football is a &lt;strong&gt;game&lt;/strong&gt;, but it is not just this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ranieri’s last match on the Giallorossi bench was filled with emotion, as it coincided with the goodbye of De Rossi as he left for Boca Juniors.
