Claudio Ranieri

What football means to an Italian coach is tactics, trying to control the game by following the ideas and systems of the manager. ”

I started coaching in the Interregionale league in Catanzaro. There were pitches with no grass; at times, we had no water, no training equipment. I had to do it all myself. ”

All the time, I said to my players, 'I don't care about the name on the badge or the name of the opponents.' ”

We must respect the referee every time. ”

I do not have much time for relaxation, but when I can, I like to read. ”

Rebuilding has always been one of my specialities from the time I started with young players at Cagliari. ”

I think the strength of the man is to have the right balance. Not to be so high when you win; not to be so down when you lose. ”

When you work hard, when you believe in something, in the end, you will achieve something. ”

We work so hard. Everyone does, but only one can win. ”
