Before we move on to your questions, I want to dot all the i`s right away. I finished my coaching career and I have to say that during these months I had more offers than after winning the [Premier League] title with Leicester.

But perhaps fate decided otherwise: I started my playing career on our site [at Roma], and I will end it on our site as a coach and manager. It was important for me to clarify this, " said Claudio Ranieri.
