That’s because the Italian tactician was spotted in the stands at the Emirates on Sunday, during Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Stoke City.

Given that it’s just a matter of days since Arsene Wenger announced that he would be stepping down as Gunners boss at the end of the season, it naturally led to plenty of speculation over a possibility that Ranieri could be a candidate to step in.

In his defence, Ranieri boasts plenty of experience at the highest level, having enjoyed stints in charge of Chelsea, Juventus, Inter, Roma and Valencia, while he’s currently Nantes boss.

However, for these fans, it’s not enough to convince them that he would be a sensible appointment to fill the void left behind by Wenger at the end of the season.
