The two parties haven’t yet reached a formal agreement, but several sources, including Sky Sport and Gazzetta, are confident that Ranieri will return to Roma this evening with his contract signed.

A former coach and player for Roma, Ranieri is expected to sign a contract until the end of the season and could enter the club’s board in the summer of 2025.

Ranieri is set to become the third Roma coach this season after Daniele De Rossi and Ivan Juric.
