Ranieri

Claudio Ranieri, dismissed by Greece in November 2014, has revealed how he turned to Jurgen Klopp last Christmas after experiencing anguish. Following the defeat to the Faroe Islands Greece sacked the 64-year-old that led to heartbreak, but the Leicester manager watched Klopp coach Borussia Dortmund players at a sunshine camp during winter break.

Two hours past midnight, and two and a half hours after Greece's humiliation by the Faroe Islands in Piraeus, the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) announced its intention to see Italian manager Claudio Ranieri go, after he coached Greece to three defeats and one draw in four Euro 2016 qualifiers this fall.

Greece manager Claudio Ranieri accepted the blame for the shock loss at home to the Faroe Islands (1-0) but rushed to stress he is not quitting the national team’s bench despite having a record of three defeats in as many games at home.

Greece coach Claudio Ranieri voiced his satisfaction with the performance of the national team in Helsinki's 1-1 draw with host Finland on Saturday for the 2016 European Championship qualifiers, saying the risk in pucking the squad he took was worth it, even though Greece did not get maximum points.

The Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) presented Claudio Ranieri as the new Greece coach for the next couple of years, after the Italian manager signed his contract in Athens on Friday.

“I liked the spirit of the team and there is not that much I wish to change in it for now,” said Ranieri who starts his first coaching stint at a national team.
