CAGLIARI – “I want to congratulate Gasperini and Atalanta, they are very good, from the president to the coach they have done something extraordinary. Every Italian has filled his heart seeing Atalanta. Coaches are judged by trophies, but why? You can’t always win, and it’s not that all the work beforehand isn’t valid. We’re obsessed with the trophy and the cup, Gasperini deserved it from the start.”. These are the words of Claudio Ranieri after he announced his farewell to Cagliari and to football, but left one door open.
Ranieri and the future: “Only one national team”
Ranieri also spoke to Sky about his future: “The warmth and consideration of the people made me happy, seeing our fans happy, the mothers too, there were people who came from all over. I understand the sacrifices that the Sardinian people make, they are magnificent, I can only say thank you Before Cagliari I had two or three requests that never materialized and I wondered why. Then when Cagliari arrived I said ‘that’s why’, I had to close the circle there should be a national team, and I’m not talking about Italy, which makes me feel something, I can say yes. But I don’t want other club teams, I closed that door.”
