Somebody’s gain is somebody’s loss and the wheel of life goes on. Like time, it never stops. Claudio Ranieri certainly received a gift in that regard, while Eusebio Di Francesco could feel hard done by this vicious cycle.

Even a human good at premonition couldn’t have felt this coming for Eusebio when Roma went all the way into the semi-final of the Champions League (last season). And Ranieri would have been not the favored one to replace him at the hot seat in Rome. After all, the former Leicester City boss was given the Fulham job in the middle of the season, to steady the ship, not the hardest job if we consider that the Cottagers spent in excess of $100 million on new arrivals.

Roma set some standards last season and matching them was the least of the targets. But the Giallorossi made a less than convincing start to the season, and you could just feel that the sword was hanging dangerously close over Eusebio’s job all season.

The media predicted long before the 2nd leg, that failing to beat Porto for the quarterfinals could be his last match. And it was, indeed.

Roma lost 3-1 at Estadio do Dragao, and Porto advanced into the last eight.

Now Ranieri is at the helm for the rest of the season. How Roma fairs till the end of the season will define whether he is the right man to take this club forward. In some sense, it’s a chance for him to redeem himself from the ignominy of Fulham’s downfall under him. So it’s a chance.

The job is not going to be easy though. Roma have a big fight on their hands to finish in the top-4. As things stand, the Giallarossi are 3 points adrift of 4th placed Inter Milan.

Empoli are in the turmoil as well. They have been flirting with the relegation all season. The situation remains as grave as it was at any stage in the league. They are 17th with just four points separating them from the bottom three.

However, the Blues have goals in them having scored an impressive 33 times in the league. But after conceding 53 goals, the defense has undone their attacking threat.
