Roma manager Claudio Ranieri has disclosed that he turned down Chelsea offer before signing for the Serie A club.
Before he joined the Italian side, Ranieri rejected an offer from the Blues when the club decided to part ways with Mauricio Pochettino at the end of last season but he has now revealed that he outright rejected the proposition.
“Nobody has a magic wand. I was asked to put things back in their place, also while acting as an advisor.

“They had already asked after me at Chelsea, but I said no. In England, I don’t have the connections that I have here, which I need to do things properly.
“Roma is my life, and now I have more experience, I’m vaccinated against every situation. It’s also the realization of a childhood dream, from somebody who stood in the Curva Sud.
“I also like this dual role, between coaching and managing.”
