Editing Claudio Ranieri (section)

===Roma===
On 1 September 2009, Ranieri was signed as the new manager of Roma on a two-year contract, succeeding [[Luciano Spalletti]], who had resigned that day after opening the [[2009–10 Serie A]] season with two defeats.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8231959.stm |title=Ranieri appointed new Roma coach |date=2 September 2009 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=2 September 2009 |location=London}}</ref> Thus, Rome-born Ranieri became head coach of the football club which he had supported since childhood. Under his guidance, Roma dramatically improved their performances and thrust themselves into the championship battle, reducing the gap between themselves and leaders Inter to only one point after Ranieri's team defeated Mourinho's ''Nerazzurri'' on matchday 31. Roma then went on to win two more games consecutively and overtook Inter by matchday 33, thanks to a 2–1 home win against Atalanta and Inter's 2–2 draw against Fiorentina. This left the ''Giallorossi'' on the top of the table with five games remaining. Roma then extended its unbeaten run to 23 matches,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldsoccer.com/news/ranieri-cautious-as-roma-go-top-296830 |title=Ranieri cautious as Roma go top |publisher=World Soccer |date=12 April 2010 |access-date=27 April 2016}}</ref> and also maintained first place in the league table by winning a heated derby against [[Derby della Capitale|crosstown rivals]] Lazio, extending the club's unbeaten run to 24 matches. Ranieri was hailed by the press for substituting local heroes [[Francesco Totti]] and [[Daniele De Rossi]] during half-time, while Roma was losing 1–0; the ''Giallorossi'' then won the match 2–1 after two second-half goals from [[Mirko Vučinić]].<ref name="can Claudio Ranieri finally win a major title"/> Roma, however, would surrender their lead in Serie A and also lose [[2010 Coppa Italia Final|the Coppa Italia final]], in both cases to [[Treble (association football)|treble]]-winning Inter.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/may/16/inter-milan-win-serie-a |title=Internazionale take fifth successive Serie A title with win at Siena |newspaper=The Guardian |date=16 May 2010 |access-date=27 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0250-0c50f4b42c3a-0fbc1831ccbe-1000--inter-join-exclusive-treble-club/ |title=Inter join exclusive treble club |publisher=UEFA |date=22 May 2010 |access-date=27 April 2016}}</ref> Following Roma's 1–0 defeat in the Coppa Italia final, Inter boss Mourinho publicly mocked Ranieri, as he had reportedly showed his team the film ''[[Gladiator (2000 film)|Gladiator]]'' before the match, in order to motivate his players.<ref name="Mourinho mocks">{{cite web |url=http://www.espnfc.us/story/783489/jose-mourinho-mocks-loser-claudio-ranieris-preparations |title=Mourinho mocks 'loser' Ranieri's preparations |publisher=ESPN FC |date=8 May 2010 |access-date=27 April 2016}}</ref><ref name=feud>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/12047813/Chelsea-manager-Jose-Mourinho-Phone-call-ended-my-feud-with-Claudio-Ranieri.html |title=Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: Phone call ended my feud with Claudio Ranieri |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |author1=Julian Bennetts |date=12 December 2015 |access-date=27 April 2016}}</ref>
