Report: Ranieri agrees Inter contract



It is widely reported Claudio Ranieri has agreed a two-year contract to replace Gian Piero Gasperini on the Inter bench.

The former Chelsea, Parma, Juventus and Roma Coach was spotted at the Nerazzurri headquarters this evening.


It’s believed there was a clinch meeting between President Massimo Moratti and his closest advisors to decide on this option after Gasperini was sacked.


Ranieri had been set to sign a contract to the end of the season with an option for a second, but it’s now reported Inter agreed to give him a two-year deal.


The tactician can also bring his favoured staff with him to San Siro and will take control of his first training session on Thursday

lol Moratti. Why did you give him 2 years guaranteed? Now you will have to pay a higher severance fee when you fire this guy.

4 derbies
4 coaches
4 defeats

olololololol

Yeah, 2 years is too much when at most he'll last 6 months

Too bad wiggles isn't here, I would have loved to read his rants on the matter.

We should start of with a short-term contract!
How about a three match contract?

He knows how to beat Bayern.

No manager will be a solution to the problem. Look at that squad. I don't know how Ranieri's squad building skills are like, but that squad needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Inter already have 2nd position wrapped up.

Just what i wanted to post, 2nd place guaranteed.

Inter will bounce back in a great way, mark my word.

Have a bit of bad news for the Inter fans Ranieri plays a 3 man defence sometimes.He did anytime we played Napoli (and we lost both games ) and on a few other occasions.Tinkerman

at least when he has a bad run of games he'll quit before moratti fires him

Raniari is an underrated coach.

He is a nearly man, but always did more with his squad than can be done. It is that he gets nervous at the final stretch and it translates to the whole team.

Plus he is honorable, and would resign before being fired. I can say that he is not a Rafa in that regard. He probably will not cost you much, and ironically, though he will not probably win you anything, he will most surely steady the ship.

I'm nervous about how the squad will react to having to follow/listen to a guy who Mou publicly bashed so often...there are still a lot of players on our team who worship the ground Mou walks on

I find it quite funny that some Inter fans, especially those who wanted Gasperini out, are complaining about getting Ranieri. He's the best possible option out there at the moment and is a clear step up from Inter's 2 previous coaches (being Gasperini and Leonardo). He's a good tactician and a coach capable of doing a lot with what he has at his disposal. Some say he only plays a 4-4-2, which couldn't be further from the truth. He plays whatever formation is best suited to the team, unlike Gasperini who tried to implement his desired tactics without having the correct players to do so. I expect him to switch Inter up to a 4-3-1-2; Sneijder would be much more comfortable and that alone is a huge plus, while someone like Alvarez I think will have a good chance at settling himself within the squad. I fear for Obi's chances, as well as Castagnios to some extent, but not a big loss compared to what would be gained in reverting to a style that suits the team much more.

That I think would be the main issue. But Ranieri has lots of experience and I think the team would be ready to jump on board with him for a clean start.
