The former Leicester City boss has somewhat steadied the sinking ship. However, Ranieri does not plan on staying in the job for too long.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>As such, it is likely that Roma will be on the lookout for a new coach for next season and reports in December suggested that Ranieri had personally called Ancelotti to convince the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/carlo-ancelotti-cryptic-update-future-real-madrid-return-to-roma/blt34315f5cb3325fc5" target="_blank">Real Madrid boss to shift over to Italy</a> and take over from him at the Giallorossi. But Ranieri has denied this took place.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>When asked about reports of him contacting Ancelotti, Ranieri responded: "All the reports about me calling Carlo Ancelotti to become next Roma manager starting from next season are not true. These stories are wide of the mark."</p>

WHAT RANIERI SAID

<p>Ranieri's Roma are back in action on Sunday when they host bitter rivals Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.</p>
