Ranieri equals Spalletti’s unbeaten record
Italian coach Claudio Ranieri has matched Luciano Spalletti’s impressive 17-match unbeaten run while in charge of AS Roma.
According to OneFootball, the former Leicester City manager has not suffered a defeat in Serie A since mid-December.
The 73-year-old has guided Roma to 12 wins and four draws in 15 matches, collecting 37 points since the start of 2025.
In comparison, Spalletti recorded 14 wins and three draws during his unbeaten stretch with the Giallorossi.
Roma's last loss came on December 15, when they were beaten 2-0 by Cesc Fabregas’s Como. He said via Zamin:
“The players and technical crew are confidently moving towards our dream.
“The team are doing incredible things along this journey. The team has crucial matches ahead against Inter Milan and Fiorentina. We have a lot of work to do if we want to achieve a better result.
“It is certain that I will leave the club at the end of the season."

Man United fans clamour for Ranieri
Manchester United fans are calling for Claudio Ranieri to take over at the club once he departs AS Roma at the end of the season.
One user on X remarked that the Italian manager has achieved better results with minimal spending, while another fan expressed confidence that the 73-year-old has what it takes to rebuild the Red Devils.

"The right man needed to rebuild and lay the foundation for #ManchesterUnited success."

"He’s an impact manager like Ole and ETH. Once you figure them out . They can’t stop losing."
@UcheCloud posited:
"Did he bring in his own players before doing this?"
@FritzGh added:
"It baffles me how both Claudio Raneiri and Amorim were appointed at the same time but Amorim needs £700m, new stadium, new set of 23 players and a ’system’ to start producing results😂😂."
@official_olando said:
"While Amorim still needs 12 new players who played 3-4-3 in their previous lives before he can beat Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town."
