# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Claudio Ranieri began in Italy's lower divisions in the late 1980s, working Cagliari up from Serie C1 to the top flight in back-to-back seasons. He won silverware at Fiorentina — a Coppa Italia and Supercoppa in 1996 — then moved to Spain, where his Valencia side lifted a Copa del Rey and helped lay the groundwork for the club's Champions League years. Chelsea hired him in 2000; after Roman Abramovich bought the club and poured money into the squad, Ranieri took them to second place and a Champions League semi-final in 2004, then was sacked that May. He drifted through Italy and France — promotion with Monaco, a disastrous four months with Greece that ended after a home loss to the Faroe Islands. Then Leicester in 2015: a miracle season, the title, and every major managerial award going. Nine months later the club dismissed him. He kept moving — Nantes, Fulham, Sampdoria, Watford — before returning to Cagliari in 2023 and winning promotion through the playoffs. He announced retirement, then came back for a third stint at Roma in late 2024, finishing fifth and moving into an advisory role.
