Napoli head coach Antonio Conte commented on the appointment of Claudio Ranieri as coach of Roma ahead of the direct confrontation in the 13th round of the Italian championship.
«Of course, I have a lot of respect for Claudio. I am happy for him. I thought he would return only to the national team, but his heart was open to Roma and Cagliari. I am happy for him and his family because they live in Rome. I wish him all the best, except for two games against us.
This will be a difficult game. Don't forget that Roma finished ahead of Napoli last season. They are playing in the Europa League. Their transfer window was great, but the new players did not meet expectations», - quotes Conte Football Italia.
