Ranieri: No grudge against Juve
Thursday 10 December, 2009
Roma boss Claudio Ranieri insists he didn't receive the news of Juventus's knock out from the Champions League on Tuesday night as sweet revenge.
The Bianconeri lost 4-1 to Bayern Munich, their heaviest home defeat since 1967, and now could face Roma in the Europa League.
Juventus fired Ranieri in May after nearly two years in charge and replaced him with rookie Coach Ciro Ferrara.
Speaking at an awards ceremony, Ranieri said: “There is no revenge with Juventus in Europe. I am happy here in Rome.
“I don't have anything to get off my chest. I am in Rome, in my city and I lead my team. It couldn't be better,” he concluded.
Ranieri isn't the only former trainer Juventus could meet in the next round of the Europa League.
Didier Deschamps's Marseille also dropped out of the Champions League at the expense of Real Madrid and Milan.
