Amazing. Never expected that, but I guess they are paying him well.
Ranieri is the new Leicester Manager
- Thread starter Dans
- Start date
The tinker man is back? Wow!
Bonkers appointment. He'll be gone by November.
Don't think he's suited for the job.
Poor Schmeichel
Not exactly the up and coming Pochettino style appointment some people were thinking Leicester might go for.
This won't end well.

Crazy appointment. I think they will go down now.
I really like Ranieri, but it's a complete misfit.
You have to ask yourself why.
What a waste of time for everyone involved, he won't last a year and probably gone within the first three months.

Goodbye Leicester City it was nice knowing you.
They are going down, should have gone with Lennon, O'Neill or even Allerdyce if they wanted a chance. Who on earth are these Leicester owners consulting?
I had a look and it seems Ranieri has a highly impressive list of signings and youth products at certain clubs but doesn't really seem to get teams to play to their full potential...anywhere.

Interesting. I would have thought Allardyce would be perfect for them.
Will it be him or Tim Sherwood who is the first to be sacked?
Just a strange appointment.
I doubt this will work out but it's hardly out of the blue, he's been linked since Pearson got sacked.
Snake oil merchant like Sven.
How Ranieri still gets work is beyond me...He fails everywhere he goes......He lived years in England and can't speak a word of English.....Moyes is like Ferguson when up against Ranieri.....Anyways thank God they didn't get O'Neill because I think he can still do good things with Ireland if given time
How does he keep getting work?
It's baffling. Does he do good work behind the scenes or something?

He did buy Lampard and bring through Terry at Chelsea...if that was to do with him from looking at his Wikipedia it says he's pretty good at developing players and recruitment - seems a bit dog poo to me though. Awful appointment for Leicester.
Because he actually gets some decent/good results from his clubs.
Napoli - Fiorentina - Valencia - Atlético Madrid - Chelsea - Valencia - Parma - Juventus - Roma - Inter - Monaco - Greece - Leicester
One of these things is not like the other.

Got it. Greece are a national team.

For any Chelsea fans wondering, Ranieri is the guy who used to manage your club before you started supporting them.

proving a lot of people wrong here atm
I've always said it. When it comes to managers, the Caf are mostly wrong.
Not just on here to be fair, but in the media and elsewhere too.
Football Weekly's James Richardson got it spot on at the beginning of the season... how people don't take Ranieri seriously because he's that friendly old Italian bloke, who speaks funny, and says funny things and was called the tinkerman etc. etc.... but actually, if you look at his record (away from Greece) it's not half bad, and he was more then worthy of the job at Leicester.
Not just managers. There's a beautiful Modric thread on here from the time we had the likes of Anderson and Cleverly walking around in our midfield.

I love you. I've been trying to find this for ages. I know I wasn't hallucinating remembering Modric wasn't rated on here.
It was mostly that I am always right idiot who was saying he prefers Clev and Anderson.
His record in Italy and England was quite good. I don't know why so many people jumped on him at the start of the season.
Ha ha great edit.

pretty sure he was saying something opposite before.
I've always thought he was a good manager. Badly mistreated at Chelsea, despite laying the foundations for their success (Terry, Lampard, Cech, Gallas, Makalele, etc.).
After Fergie left, I wanted him as our director of football. His tactical choices can be a bit hit and miss, but when he gets it right, he gets it really right. I don't think anybody can deny his eye for talent, though. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather choose to watch over transfer policy.

Amazing how harsh (and wrong) so many were about Modric.Not just managers. There's a beautiful Modric thread on here from the time we had the likes of Anderson and Cleverly walking around in our midfield.

Well, it was Tim Sherwood.I just had too
Also, what kind of genius saw this coming?
While not a top manager, Ranieri has always been a good manager.
No idea what people were smoking saying that he'll fail, be sacked and that it would have been better for Leicester if they got some dinosaur instead.
