Ranieri first match as Roma coach did not go well after the defeat to Napoli, but I think in that match there was a significant improvement in Roma performance and also the game although they could not avoid defeat, Roma who are currently managed by Ranieri I think have a brighter prospect to rise than currently coached by Ivan Jurig previously, Facing Napoli who are in good form of course requires a team to have better squad depth, but Roma is still able to keep up with Napoli's game in the match even though their squad is not better than Napoli currently has, defeat is still a defeat but behind it all, of course Ranieri must be able to gain experience to improve his squad later when facing the next match in Serie A or in the UEL.
There is a possibility of a move towards a better direction since Ranieri took charge, this assumption is reinforced by Roma's improved performance compared to the previous coach. Although Ranieri could not avoid defeat, from a more realistic point of view the defeat was a natural thing because Napoli were in their best form, while Roma still needed a recovery phase since slumping in the Ivan Juric era. Napoli have a mature squad depth, they also play very solidly and every player has good chemistry. Roma must immediately get out of the slump because currently they have only been able to win 13 points from 13 matches, 3 points ahead of the Relegation Zone.
