Claudio Ranieri bids farewell to the Olimpico, and this time it's for the last time. From next season, he will no longer be the coach of Roma: he will experience the stadium as a manager, but the emotions will not be the same.

Both the Giallorossi coach and the Roma fans, who sang his name for 90 minutes, are well aware of this. Knowing that he will still be behind the scenes of the Roma to come is a relief, but there will be no one like him.

👋 Like no one else: Ranieri bids farewell to Roma

Ranieri has always been present when his Roma needed him. Only Sir Claudio could find the cure to overcome a very difficult first part of the season. Europe seemed like an unattainable dream, but with him, it became a reality.

In the last matchday of the championship, the Giallorossi will play until the end with Juventus for a place in the Champions League, but whatever happens, it will be a success.

🔥 The statuette and then the warmth of the Olimpico

The 3-0 win against Milan tonight is the best epilogue that could be imagined, and Roma wanted to thank their leader with a statuette of the Capitoline she-wolf, then, however, came the unforgettable gift.

The entire Olimpico stadium stood up, with tears in their eyes, and the final farewell. The Giallorossi fans gathered around Ranieri in one of the most touching moments in Roma's history, and the coach couldn't hold back his emotions.

🫶 Ranieri "infinitely grateful": the coach's words

"Good evening everyone," Sir Claudio began. "I remember that over 60 years ago I was there, among you. Thank you: I had asked for your help because together we could do something great."

Then his mind goes back to the field, one last effort is missing, and Ranieri believes in it: "The last step is missing. I thank these guys who have followed me from day one. But the most important thing is that you understood that we needed your help. Thank you, infinitely thank you."

🏟️ The choreography makes Ranieri cry

Already before the kick-off of Roma-Milan, the Giallorossi fans had struck Ranieri: a spectacular choreography to pay tribute to a special coach.
