Coach Claudio Ranieri, Who Wrote Leicester City

Coach Ranieri, Who Wrote Leicester City's 'EPL Championship Fairytale', Retires from Active Duty

Coach Claudio Ranieri, who led Leicester City to a miraculous English professional soccer Premier League (EPL) victory eight years ago, is retiring from the field at the age of 72.

Italian professional soccer team Serie A Cagliari announced on its website on the 22nd (Korean time) that the club's head coach, Coach Raniere, will conclude his coaching career and retire.

Cagliari said, "We bid farewell to Coach Ranieri. He achieved his last goal. 토토사이트

He led the team to remain in Serie A this season."

Cagliari, who has been in charge of coach Ranieri since 2022, finished this season in 15th place with 8 wins, 12 draws, and 17 losses, accumulating 36 points.

Coach Claudio Ranieri said through the club, "I have decided to leave now.

I hesitated because it was difficult and painful, but I think it is appropriate to retire."

Born in 1951, Coach Ranieri is widely known among soccer fans as the leader who brought Leicester City to the top of the EPL in the 2015-2016 season.

Leicester City, which had been at the bottom of the league in the 2014-2015 season but barely rose to 14th place and avoided relegation, overtook a 'big club' that boasted capital power the next season and dramatically won the trophy for the first time in 132 years since its founding.

At the time, the British Daily Mail commented, "Sports' greatest fairy tale was completed when Leicester City overcame odds of 1 in 5,000," and the miraculous narrative touched and resonated with soccer fans around the world.

However, the fairytale-like joy of winning was short-lived, as Leicester City was unable to strengthen its strength like other big clubs due to insufficient capital, and fell to 12th place the following season.

During the 2016-2017 season, when the rankings dropped day by day, Leicester City eventually fired Coach Claudio Ranieri.

It had been 298 days since the EPL Championship Title was lifted.
