afootballreport: The man who always finds a job: Claudio Ranieri (By Dominic Vieira) Whether you think he’s world class or not, it’s clear Claudio Ranieri is a lucky manager.

The man who always finds a job: Claudio Ranieri (By Dominic Vieira)

Whether you think he’s world class or not, it’s clear Claudio Ranieri is a lucky manager. Since the Italian retired as a player in 1986, he has rarely experienced unemployment. The 59-year-old was recently appointed the manager of Inter Milan succeeding Gian Piero Gasperini, the job became his 12th in football. Ranieri is a globetrotter of Italy as he’s worked at several clubs from North to South and the only major club he’s yet to manage is AC Milan. But don’t rule it out.

He’s not a winner but a creator, he has coached illustrious names, such as Zola at Napoli and the sublime Batistuta-Rui Costa partnership at Fiorentina, and he was also the founder of Abramovich’s ludicrously expensive Chelsea revolution signing the instrumental Lampard, Cech, Robben, Makélelé, Gallas and Terry (promoted through academy). However, it’s debatable that his greatest achievement was constructing a solid team at Valencia which went on to achieve a fair share of greatness.

Here’s his timeline:

  • 1987-88: Campania Puteolana
  • 1988-91: Cagliari
  • 1991-93: Napoli
  • 1993-97: Fiorentina
  • 1997-99: Valencia
  • 1999-00: Atletico Madrid
  • 2000-04: Chelsea
  • 2004-05: Valencia
  • 2007: Parma
  • 2007-09: Juventus
  • 2009-11: Roma
  • 2011: Inter Milan

Some like him and others don’t. He’s gotten off to an ideal start with Inter, but the point is, he’s always working.
