What insights does Claudio Ranieri share about his managerial journey?
Hello and welcome to this week's Goals on Sunday podcast. We have former Chelsea and Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri with us this morning to talk us through his incredible managerial journey. Dilly ding, dilly dong. What Leicester did would make everyone dream.
Mahrez.
Yes! What an outstanding goal! Somebody that wrote the most beautiful history of the Premier League. of football, not only in England, but in the world.
That will never be matched, so no credit to him. Leicester City are champions of the Premier League. The greatest story ever told has its happy ending
Absolutely thrilled that Claudio Ranieri is our guest this morning.
Say it properly, Claudio Ranieri. Well done, Chris.
How did Leicester City achieve their incredible Premier League victory?
Finally, after 18 years.
That might be the only name he pronounces correctly. Good morning to everybody. You have to roll your arm. Roll your arm. Claudio, lovely to see you. How are you feeling? Have you had a resting summer?
Yes, I feel very good. I recharged my batteries in the sea. Two months calm and now I'm ready. Ready to go back. Yeah. Go on holiday, go and enjoy your money. Why are you coming back?
What experiences did Claudio Ranieri have during his time in France?
No, I enjoy it just when I work. Without work, I get crazy. Yeah? So you need to work, you need football. I need to work, yeah, I need football.
It's amazing, football people in it, you can't get away from it, can you?
You can't let it go. You had a season in France, of course, as the manager for Nantes.
It was a good season. Did you enjoy the experience? Yeah, I enjoyed the experience. I have been there two years with Monaco and then with Nantes. It was good, it was good. It's a different league, different football, but it's good. There are some good players.
What challenges do Italian managers face in the Premier League?
And a very strong team in PSG, of course, Unai Emery was the manager that you faced. There was an interesting incident where one of your players got sent off after the referee kicked him.
Yeah. Which was a bizarre thing. It was a strange match because I don't know what happened. Maybe they got back together and the referee went down and then he kicked my player. And my player said, why? Red card.
Never in my life. And that referee, Tony Chaperon, I think is his name, you were saying he's one of the best referees in Ligue 1.
Yes, yes, he's one of the best.
Well, the players don't mess with him, clearly, because if they do, he gets sent off.
It's like when Gaza picked up the yellow card and gave it to the ref, and the ref immediately turned it round and went... And he called it, he called it, didn't he?
Absolutely. So you've had a few months off since the end of the French season.
How does Claudio Ranieri view the pressure of managing in Italy versus England?
Did you enjoy the World Cup, Claudio? Did you go 20th again?
I enjoyed the World Cup. It was a very, very... Strange, a lot of teams play in a very, very defensive way. France, France, they won the title but the French fans are not happy because the champions didn't play so well. But I think at the end, you are World Cup champions. Those Frenchmen need to be Englishmen for a bit.
They wouldn't say that in Italy, would they?
Perfect. I love a lot Senegal and Japan. Yes. Japan was like my Leicester. Everybody compact and go, counter-attack, well-organized. I make a fan of Japan.
What does Claudio Ranieri think about Jamie Vardy's impact on football?
Yeah, brilliant stuff. It's interesting because the way Chelsea have tended to employ managers since Abramovich has come in is to buy managers that have been successful all around the world. Big-name managers with a strong CV in terms of success and winning things. Sarri's a bit of a departure. Like you say, he had an incredible season at Napoli last year. Great success, but didn't win and hadn't won. But it hasn't seemed to stop him. They've changed direction slightly, brought in a manager that has very quickly converted the players, as you were saying, to his style.
No, but I think that is the strength of Maurizio. He's a bright man and can involve everybody to improve and to follow him. And Roma maybe watched the match City against Naples last season. and it was a fantastic match in the Champions League, and then I could have beat this.
That was his audition, but it certainly went well. And another Italian manager in the Premier League, and that usually means a title.
