When asked about the new coach, Ranieri told a local newspaper that the announcement will be made by the club president, but he wouldn't give any hints about who it might be.

Ranieri's family members and friends are curious about the new coach, but he's keeping the information to himself to prevent a leak.

He even joked with a famous singer that the new coach will be introduced on July 1, but that won't give them much time to prepare for the upcoming season.

Ranieri is staying involved with Roma as an advisor to the club's president, Francesco Friedkin.

He will be sharing his expertise and insights with the president, who values his input and often acts on his recommendations.

Ranieri has been doing the same this year, providing feedback on what's working and what needs improvement at the club.
