Claudio Ranieri has vowed to take a flexible approach to his tactical set-up at Roma, tailoring his strategies to suit different opponents. Speaking in his first press conference since being appointed as manager until the end of the season, the 73-year-old emphasised his commitment to adapting the team’s formation.

Claudio Ranieri could only have been convinced to come out of retirement by either Cagliari or AS Roma, and had turned down plenty of offers before answering the call of home, the new Roma manager said on Friday.
