Claudio Ranieri (13 Viewers)

- Start date
because the sooner we get a coach, the sooner we can understand what tacttics and formations he will play and the sooner he gets used to the players and gets to know the areas of strength and weakness of the team. Plus then we can know which of our transfer targets he wants. We have to obtain our targets as soon as the players we are after aren't just going to wait for us to come after them
it is impossible to judge a coach in 2 games let alone a coach who has been handed a team full of stars in the second division with the league already won.
Juventus will go for someone proven or at least whose talent is known. I think there is not chance of this coach leading our team. No big players would stay or join with an unknown coach.

Buffon backs Ranieri's Juve Saturday 2 June, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus are determined to have Claudio Ranieri on the bench next season and Gianluigi Buffon agrees he’s ready to remain if that’s the case.
The goalkeeper had warned he was looking to leave if Didier Deschamps was not replaced by Marcello Lippi, but following the World Cup winning tactician’s refusal to come out of retirement, other avenues are opening up.
All of Italy’s newspapers report this morning that a meeting with option Gianluca Vialli did not go well, but that contact with Ranieri reached a basic agreement.
The only problem currently is the length of his contract and the issue of staff. It’s claimed Ranieri has requested a two-year deal and that Juve would prefer to keep the fitness coaches from this season.
The former Chelsea boss is free from his ties to Parma, having rescued them from relegation, and it seems as if Juventus will leap in before Manchester City can secure his signature.
To further boost Ranieri’s credentials, Buffon has come out in favour of this new era in the Bianconeri’s history.
“Ranieri has the right charisma and would be excellent,” said the goalkeeper. “He is a great Coach and so can lead a team like Juve.
“He achieved a miracle with Parma, because they had even less chance of safety than Messina when he took over. Ranieri has an excellent CV.”
As a final open door to Juventus, Buffon also pointed out that he was not demanding Lippi’s return to the bench.
“I had never said it was either Lippi or nobody. I am not a director and do not sponsor anyone.”
Meanwhile, the Azzurri shot-stopper also looked ahead to tonight’s Euro 2008 qualifier in the Faroe Islands.
“I have the utmost respect for people like them who do not play professionally and obviously they’ll do everything to impress, but we cannot afford to do them any favours.
“I hope to feel very cold, as that means we have dominated upfront and I won’t have a save to make! We are all very experienced here and have learned our lesson from a few humiliations in the past, so there’s no risk of underestimating our opponents.”

If he's good enough for Buffon, he's good enough for me.
