Players are behind me, says embattled Ranieri

ROMA coach Claudio Ranieri believes he has the full backing of his players ahead of tonight’s Champions League last 16 clash with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Reports in the Italian press claimed there is a division in Roma’s changing room after their recent disappointing results that have severely dented the Giallorossi’s Scudetto ambitions.

“The coach is like the husband, he is the last to know,” Ranieri said in yesterday’s press conference.
