[Saba Sports News] In the recent Serie A match,
Cagliari suffered a 1-4 defeat at home against Roma. Following the match,
veteran coach Claudio Ranieri revealed that Jose Mourinho extended an
invitation to him to return to Rome on a special plane with the Roma team.
However, Ranieri ultimately declined Mourinho’s offer and opted to take a
regular flight back to Rome. Mourinho commented on the situation, saying,
“I suggested to Mr. Ranieri that it would be a pleasant gesture if he
joined us on the plane back to Rome. He is a gentleman of the Roma Club and the
city. However, he declined due to his exceptional professionalism.” With
Serie A entering a break due to national team competitions, Ranieri granted the
Cagliari team a few days off, allowing him to seize the opportunity and return
to his hometown of Rome to reunite with his family.
