Claudio Ranieri (71 Viewers)

[CAPITANO]

Ranieri must of left his balls at one of the many clubs he's been to and not won anything, if he had some balls he would of taken off Sali and put on Momo, it was 4 defenders againt 1 attacker just like against samp more points lost due to bad management.

Saying that inter's penalty was fair and Mancini saying it wasn't just a number of stupid comments you've made, do you work for Moratti or just trying to get more juve fans to hate you even more

Just get us a top 4th spot and leave take Salihamidzic, Molinaro with you

Isnt the mid season crisis, caused by the coaches training program??

Oh c`mon give me a break...I don`t know how someone can`t know by now that Ranieri sucks and its mostly his fault how bad we really are.Its not just result its how we play.This is not Juventus...How many times we scored in last minutes of the game and how many times Ranieri did something wrong...He DO set a good formation sometimes but thats just rarely but he always make terrible subs.

Well, I haven't seen or heard in what way he said that about the Inter penalty but it looks to me like he is just trying to be diplomatic. He is trying to be better than the crybaby Mancini. Which is a good thing.

But I am still concerned about why he had to comment on that Inter penalty situation so early after our game. Shouldn't he be focusing on other things atm...?

I think the name calling towards Ranieri is really ridiciolous and it should stop because we are all mature enough,or atleast the most of us. Everytime we draw or loose the tinkeman thread is full of insults and that is where the fun ends in my book. Criticize is one thing,insulting is another. The insults are really dumbing down the level of the forum imo. I think we need to show some respect towards Ranieri. Give the guy a break, he isn't solely responsible for the bad performances. Sure,he has to motivate the players,he is the one who choose the tactics,the line-up and the substitutes, but still the players are the ones who have to defend and score. Last time I checked Ranieri wasn't on the pitch to score in front of Storari. Blaming the coach is always the easiest way to explain a team's bad performance.That's lame IMO. But I guess I'm the only one who is thinking this way,so I wish everybody a lot of fun with insulting Ranieri.

:rndh:

so the coach's sole work is to motivate the players? i thought that's the captain's job. the coach fixes the problems-tactical, technical: trains the players, choses the best or winning combination for each game and get new players if the present squad is not good enough. look at what juande ramos did to tottenham. the same players of martin jol times but he just changed a few things like diet and training, now spurs are much better side.

Thats the problem. Today we see Nocerino doing nothing on pitch. The majority of the people in the match thread see this and I do too. When it comes to make a substitution, Ranieri takes off the player who is actually contributing more to the match than Nocerino, Tiago. Ranieri clearly has something against Tiago, I am sure of that. Our coach needs to grow up and stop acting like a baby about it. Tiago has been professional so far and hasn't complained to the media about all this. Ranieri just doesn't like him.

Ranieri the architect, not the builder?

There is a real danger that history will repeat itself for a third time for Claudio Ranieri.

The Juventus manager was the building block of two different teams in two different countries, only to fail to stick around long enough to see his work come to fruition.

At Valencia between 1997 and 1999, he signed goalkeeper Santiago Canizares and Argentinian forward Claudio Lopez, and promoted youth-team and fringe players Gaizka Mendieta, Javier Farinos, Miguel Angel Angulo and David Albelda to the first-team.

All played a part in the growth of the Mestalla club to two Champions League finals under Hector Cuper.

At Chelsea, he is still revered for his work in taking the West London club to the Champions League semi-final for the first time, and for his role in signing the players that helped win two Premier League trophies, an FA Cup, a League Cup and a Community Shield under Jose Mourinho.

Yet, Ranieri was mocked and vilified by the English media as ‘The Tinkerman’, the amiable idiot savant with the mangled English who lucked his way to the top tier of management thanks to the concurrent chequebook provided by owner Roman Abramovich.

The incident that did it for the press was his tactical naivety in the Champions League semi-final first leg in April 2004 against Monaco in the Stade Louis II.

With 37 minutes left, and the score 1-1, Monaco had Andreas Zikos sent off. Ranieri went for it like a drunk Las Vegas gambler.

He brought on Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to make it three up front. Melchiot was replaced at right-back by first a midfielder, Scott Parker, and then a centre-back, Robert Huth.

It all went wrong, Monaco won 3-1, and the Blues failed to qualify for the final.

The fans were kinder than the fourth estate, though. Remember that ovation that Ranieri received in May 2004 in the final home game of the season against Leeds?

He knew he was going to be sacked and replaced by Mourinho. The fans did as well, and roared their approval and thanks for his contribution. And what a contribution!

For it was Ranieri, not Mourinho, that bought Frank Lampard and William Gallas. It was the Tinkerman who signed Claude Makelele, Joe Cole and Petr Cech. It was the Italian who gave John Terry his chance.

Likewise, in this transfer window at Juventus, Ranieri has bought well. Olof Mellberg is an experienced international defender with a propensity, recently discovered at Aston Villa, for headed goals at set-pieces, whilst Guglielmo Stendardo is an effective and unshowy full-back

Momo Sissoko, an £8.2 million signing from Liverpool, has seen his reputation spiral quicker than Ranieri’s in England, after a poor last season. However, he remains a lung-busting, effective Vieira-like midfielder, and a change of league and country could transform him.

The problem is that Ranieri may not be around to see it.

Juventus have been impressive this season, carrying little of the hangover expected from a season in Serie B.

Ranieri signed Vincenzo Iaquinta from Udinese in summer, and the Italy striker has already scored six goals in nine league appearances for the Old Lady.

He has got an Indian summer out of Alex del Piero, and has indulged and helped youngster Raffaele Palladino to come to terms with Serie A.

The problem is, that Ranieri is likely to become a victim of growing expectations.

Juve sit in third place in Serie A, a huge achievement for a side that came up from Serie B and has vastly different personnel from the one that was relegated in 2006 for its part in the Calciopoli scandal.

Yet, Juventus are an impatient club, and their fans already feel that they should be aiming for the league.

Sunday’s 1-1 home draw with Cagliari means that the Bianconeri are 12 points behind Inter Milan. Already, the whispers are starting to be heard about whether Ranieri is the right man to take them to the next stage.

It is outrageous, of course, but this is the club that sacked Didier Deschamps immediately after he got them promoted from Serie B last year.

Deschamps was the man who took Monaco to the Champions League final in 2004 at the expense of Ranieri’s Chelsea, but was still not deemed worthy of the opportunity of managing Juve in Serie A.

Don’t bet against the same thing happening again.

Ranieri could be the architect of a Champions League-qualifying team, but he may not be allowed to complete the journey.

You know, as much as Ranieri could be a pain in the ass, he could also be a guy that knows his onions. He could lose concentration when he needs it the most, and thats something that doesn't help; the team and most especially him. I think usually, he selects his team alone, because frankly speaking, I dont see the work of 2 minds [coach and assistant ] in the way we our team plays. It's either his assistants are too daft, or they never want to tell him the truth, maybe Ranieri is too individualistic. IMO, for us to make head way next season, we'd better bring in Lippi as Technical adviser, or better still bring him in as the head coach. I'd prefer the former, because then we can benefit more from his sound mind when it works from the board, that way we integrate him into the Juve machinery and he can make experienced calls for the team. I know hes also a liberalist, so he can mutate and adapt into whatever form football might choose to take in the not too distant future. We need Ranieri to be better focused, [if he ever hopes to stay with Juve] but we need Lippi back, we need his vakues, his mind.

Next week ought to be better. At least momo'll play, sit Nocerino on the bench, he should have been loaned and not Criscito.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Can someone put Ancelotti or Mourinho on speed dial?

 

[Zé Tahir]

Ancelotti is unavailable at the moment, him and Inzaghi are at a Offside Anonymous support group meeting.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Thats it...I won`t post in this thread anymore.

 

[HelterSkelter]

What are the chances of the meeting being concluded before June?

 

[Lion]

right now our best chance is to try and lure Benitez here.

 

[HelterSkelter]

You mean the man who's teams have ended outside of the top 4 twice in his 3 years in England?Sorry,but Benitez is hardly the solution right now.

 

[Zé Tahir]

What are the chances of the meeting being concluded before June?

Ancelotti has already been at Juve and it didn't work out too well. He's not going to come back. Lippi or Mourinho is our best option.

 

[Salvatore]

Lippi or Mourinho will go to Milan. Ill have the one they don't get.

Ranieri: It Was A Beautiful Match

Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri was not too disheartened by his side’s inability to beat Cagliari today, and praises Momo Sissoko for his debut performance.

The Bianconeri could only manage a disappointing 1-1 draw against rock-bottom Cagliari, a result that sees them drop 12 points behind Serie A leaders Inter.

Juve created a few excellent opportunities in the first half, however they were very poor after the interval, barely having a shot of note after Pavel Nedved had cancelled out Michele Canini’s opener in the 56th minute.

"It was a beautiful match, played by two teams who both wanted to win,” Ranieri told Sky Italia after the game.

“I believe that the merit goes to the two goalkeepers who were excellent.”

The Tinkerman bemoaned the number of injured and suspended players that were unavailable this afternoon and promises that his team will improve and grow in the future.

“We had difficulties; we had many players out, who are now recovering,” he moaned.

“We are making good progress:melayyanandmessi: . We want to improve and we have time ahead of us. We have a lot of growing to do.

“I wanted the win, but Cagliari did not come here to just lose, they have arrived with a healthy squad believing they can have a good game. It is logical that I wanted to win, we all wanted to win."

Finally Ranieri was pleased with the debut of new signing Momo Sissoko, who came on in the 67th minute for Tiago.

Sissoko’s very poor piece of control almost led to a Cagliari winner shortly after he entered the pitch, however he seemed to recover well from this mistake.

”It was positive, he distributed a lot of balls and you can see he is a player who has already played and won championships," Ranieri stated.
