Ranieri open to Roma return amid Di Francesco sack reports

The former Leicester City boss has hinted he would not say no to taking charge of his hometown club again

Claudio Ranieri has remained coy on a potential return to Serie A giants Roma, after reports suggested that he could be in line to take over from current boss Eusebio Di Francesco.

Roma have managed just one victory from their opening five league matches of the season, leading to speculation that Di Francesco could be replaced, despite leading the Giallorossi to a Champions League semi-final last season.

Ranieri, who famously won the Premier League title with Leicester City in 2016, has been out of work since he left Ligue 1 side Nantes in May and has worked with Roma in the past both as a player and as a coach.
