At the age of 71 Claudio Ranieri is back in his spiritual home of Cagliari – his 23rd managerial job – but with no signs that his zest for coaching is in decline.
In fact far from it as a brief video on social media confirms that he’s far from taking it easy back in Sardinia. As he puts his players through their paces on the training ground, weaving their way through the slalom style markers, he urges more effort and speed. “Think of Saturday and what awaits us,” he yells. “Rapid, rapid, the mind must be rapid.”
Then he smiles: “There’s electricity in them (the markers), don’t touch!”
