Job Well Done Ranieri
Been licking my wounds for the last couple of days. First it was Xavi tearing Real Madrid apart then Inter Milan dropping points again, this time to Fiorentina. Unlike A.C Milan who were unable to leapfrog Inter Milan when they were in the same spot last month, Roma took the Serie A lead by defeating Atalanta 2-1.
I still want Roma to lose but there is no denying Claudio Ranieri has done a stellar job since taking over from Luciano Spalletti back in September. Without a doubt if Ranieri can lead Roma to the Scudetto it would be his crowning moment as a coach. For a coach to take over at the start of the season without having an off season to train or being in his players and to take this same team that was slumping under Spalletti to the brink of the championship is almost unheard of. It also says a lot about Juventus who must have some regret now letting Ranieri go after there forgettable season this term.
