Claudio Ranieri (71 Viewers)

- Start date
A vital role for Ranieri starting from Wednesday as he needs to get the players' focus back on the games at hand. He needs to find a away to channel the frustration of the players into the right direction.
It would be easy to lose focus and play the victim card here, but this team always rises above the outside distractions and the reaction is always on the field. Lets see if Ranieri can do the same to this squad as the previous managers did with the past ones.

Ranieri: Juventus Have Been Punished Enough Already
Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri refuses to believe there is a sinister plot against his team but says that the club has already been punished enough after the revoking of two Scudetti and demotion to Serie B last year.
The Bianconeri were at the centre of a storm during Saturday evening’s defeat at Napoli, after two scandalous penalties awarded for the home side allowed them to run out 3-1 winners.
This has not been the first time this campaign that questionable decisions have gone against the Serie B champions, and many people believe that this is all part of a post-Calciopoli conspiracy to make the club suffer.
However the ever-dignified Ranieri refuses to accept that there could be a plot, although he does accept that most 50/50 decisions are going against his side.
“On the first penalty I could see straight away that it was not a penalty – it was clear to see,” said Ranieri.
“On the second, at first I thought maybe it could have been, but then seeing it again you can see that Buffon does not at all touch Zalayeta.
“I don’t want my players to hide behind these penalty-awards as a reason for losing, however it is true that we have suffered enough already – we have given back two Scudetti and were demoted to Serie B.

Ranieri: Treat us like the others
Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri has added his voice to the chorus of Bianconeri fans and representatives asking for fair treatment from referees.
The Old Lady were hit by two dubious penalty decisions in a 3-1 defeat at Napoli’s Stadio San Paolo last weekend.
The official responsible Mauro Bergonzi has been criticised from all corners of the peninsula with accusations that he has been influenced by the Calciopoli scandal.
“We don’t want to pay for the past, we already have,” Ranieri declared on Domenica Sportiva.
“I like Bergonzi as a referee, but he made mistakes against Napoli. We just want to be treated like the others, no better or worse.”
Ranieri was disappointed with the Naples reverse, but he remains positive and philosophical after his side’s impressive start to the campaign.
“We need to remember that we are a newly-promoted side and there are also other sides who have had tacticians working with them for longer,” he admitted.
“If we stay focused and keep on this track until March or April, who knows where we may end up…”

Ranieri believes in Juve Scudetto
Claudio Ranieri believes Juventus are in the Scudetto race, although he bows down to Inter. “They are superior.”
The Bianconeri could become the first side in Serie A history to win the title straight after promotion and held the leaders to a 1-1 draw in Turin.
“Inter are superior to us, we are not arguing with that. We want to compete for the title, though,” smiled the Coach.
“We have pride and now Mauro Camoranesi is back, so you can see that when he is on the field there is music and a new harmony.
“The important thing is to be up there, as we have said from the start that we want to be the pain in the backside of Serie A this season. I think many fans around Italy supported us tonight.”
Juve are in the top four and fought back from Julio Cruz’s opener just before half-time.
“The offside trap is a tactic we do well and of course we should have done better on Cruz’s goal, but it is a very difficult system and we’ll study the situation to improve.”
Camoranesi came off the bench to snatch a late equaliser and Ranieri explained why he could not risk him for 90 minutes.
“The last time I tried Camoranesi from the start he tore a muscle and was out for two months. He’s only played 12 minutes, so I preferred to have him fresh when Inter were tired.”
“I’ve only had Camoranesi for practically one half at Cagliari and he gave us the victory. He is a sublime player.
“Vincenzo Iaquinta in his best period of form got bronchitis and had to stay out, so he is also slowly getting back to full fitness. We are not yet as fluid and well-organised in attack as we are in defence or midfield.”
In the meantime, Raffaele Palladino impressed on the right side of midfield, a change for the Under-21 international Trequartista.
“Let us not forget Palladino is a forward, but he is finding his feet on the flank and I am very satisfied with the way he is adapting to this position,” continued the former Chelsea boss.
“It is tricky to find a fault with Inter, especially with Cristian Chivu at left-back hermetically sealing their defence. They are a humble side and you see when they lose the ball that they all come back to defend and put pressure on the opposition.
“When Alessandro Del Piero got the ball he was always closed down by two or even three defenders, so we weren’t quick enough in releasing it and passing it around.”
There were fears over this notoriously bitter grudge match, especially in the wake of Calciopoli, but Ranieri hailed official Gianluca Rocchi.
“Rocchi was excellent. Incidents will always happen, as will errors from players, Coaches or referees. I have never complained about their mistakes and always accept what happens on the field. A referee is the most difficult job in the world, especially if you are in Italy.”
There was a heart-warming moment when Ranieri and his players convinced the referee not to book Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar for time-wasting.
“Next to me was Christian Molinaro who was asking for help from the physio, the Inter players saw him but the referee didn’t, so it was only right to explain Julio Cesar was not at fault.”

Zola Praises Ranieri
Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has lavished praise on Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri and says that he is doing very well in Turin.
Ranieri was not every Juventus supporter’s choice when he replaced Didier Deschamps as the club’s Coach in the summer.
However the Tinkerman has slowly started to win his doubters round after an excellent start to the season.
One person who is certainly impressed is former Parma star Gianfranco Zola. 'Magic Box’ played under Ranieri during his time at Chelsea and Napoli and he has nothing but praise for his former mentor.
“He is doing very well,” said Zola. “He has put together a good mix of youngsters and champions.
“He is a brave man and does not hesitate to give a young boy a chance if he has the quality.”
The likes of Antonio Nocerino, Raffaele Palladino and Cristian Molinaro have all featured heavily so far this season under Ranieri.
“He is a great speaker, has clear ideas and has an excellent knowledge of football. He is also a great motivator,” Zola concluded

I don´t understand this Lippi euphoria. For once we have to look to the fucking future and get a new, young and good manager (like Prandelli or Mourinho for example who will begin the new winning era for Juventus). We can´t rely on Lippi anymore to take us out of shit again. Can´t we find a good manager elswhere instead of bringing Lippi back again and again and again.... It is becoming ridicolous.
Excuse me for my language and don´t get offended, mate but I am sick and tired of listening about Lippi era. I am one of his biggest fans but he is really done with us IMO.

Lippi coached us in 2 periods, where we had a very good squads in both of them. He is a great coach and would be interesting to see him managing a smaller team compared to the ones he used to coach...
But as Mark said, I'd love to have a new but great coach to make the new great Juve.
Mourinho and Prandelli are the best solutions to Juve, but Prandelli is very hard to lure. and Mourinho requires a lot of money, which I doubt our BOD is ready to offer!!!
Ranieri so far is doing a good job, so I dont see why we should think about a new coach right now!
