Ranieri on the Coppa Italia: “Salernitana tie is a chance for fringe players”

The Coppa Italia kicks off for Sampdoria on Tuesday afternoon when Salernitana travel to the Ferraris in the third round. It is a competition that holds a special place in the club’s history and Claudio Ranieri explained in his pre-match press conference how the team will approach the clash. “Salernitana are second in Serie B and they’re doing very well. It’ll allow me to give an opportunity to some of the players who’ve been very committed in training, but have played less than others so far. I won the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana many years ago and would like to go far in the competition.”
