To be fair to Ranieri, it was a pretty tough test first up: away against Napoli, the side currently top of Serie A, and it ended in a 1-0 loss for Roma.
In a close, defensive match, Napoli’s Romelu Lukaku scored the only goal in the second half with one of just three shots on target for both sides combined.
The narrow defeat sees Roma lie in 12th, only three points clear of promoted Como in the relegation zone.
