Last season, Ranieri successfully revived AS Roma from a position quite close to the relegation zone. And I think if AS Roma had been in the top 10 before Ranieri arrived, they might have competed for the title or a Champions League spot. However, before Ranieri arrived, AS Roma were already quite close to the relegation zone. Returning AS Roma to the top 10 would have been an extraordinary achievement. But Ranieri went beyond that. He brought AS Roma close to a Champions League spot. And ultimately, AS Roma secured a Europa League spot. And that's quite an extraordinary achievement for Ranieri.

Regarding Gasperini, I don't doubt this coach's quality. However, we shouldn't expect much from his first season at AS Roma. There will still be adjustments and adaptations that usually take time. However, if Gasperini succeeds immediately from the start of the season, that would be commendable.

Ranieri actually retired last season. However, because he felt called to revive AS Roma, he canceled his retirement and decided to coach AS Roma until the end of the season. And he impressed everyone. And now he can retire from coaching, although he's still involved in football. He's only retired as a coach. And yes, as planned from the start, Ranieri will become an advisor to AS Roma. And yes, this is a good thing for Ranieri and the team.

Ranieri certainly performed a miracle last season, saving Roma from oblivion.
The fact that he gave up the challenge of the national team to dedicate himself to being a special advisor to Roma speaks volumes about his, so to speak, professionalism.

At least he will be truly unforgettable, both in the Premier League and in Serie A. We know he once led Leicester City to the Premier League title in extraordinary fashion there. And that was a moment no one there will ever forget. And now, at the end of his coaching career, he also made everyone remember him by successfully lifting AS Roma from a fairly low ranking back to the top five and securing a ticket to the Europa League. And that was in a short time, just half a season. Ranieri really made a strong impression at the end of his career. And now he is an advisor to AS Roma, as originally planned. And yes, he is a professional. And I personally really respect Ranieri.

All I'm thinking about now is whether AS Roma with Gasperini will succeed or not. But I believe Gasperini will be able to keep AS Roma at a decent level. But I don't know if Gasperini will lead AS Roma to become a title contender in Serie A.
