5 realistic replacements for Frank De Boer

#1 Claudio Ranieri

Claudio Ranieri has managed 7 clubs

Claudio Ranieri literally embodies the David vs. Goliath complex. The Italian represents the unlikeliest of fairy-tale stories in Premier League history, he took a bunch of average players to the summit of English football.

That can never be taken away from him, and it puts him in an echelon of his own. The Italian’s old school but refreshing 4-4-2 approach took the league by storm and it’s time for that uniqueness to be brought to Selhurst Park.

The Eagles are a team in the midst of a crisis, morale is down and the fans’ confidence in the team is at an all-time low. They desperately need the ever-positive aura of the Italian to miraculously galvanise a tumultuous dressing room.
