The DAZN pitchside reporter described Ranieri’s celebration as “unusual” as the Italian tactician “shouted” loudly, something he rarely does after Roma goals.

Ranieri is not only the Roma coach but also a die-hard fan of the Giallorossi.

According to DAZN, Pellegrini watched Ranieri after scoring his second goal this season, sticking his thumb up.

Ranieri returned to the club for the third time in November to replace the fired Ivan Juric.

Roma lead 2-0 at the break as Alexis Saelemaekers found the net a few minutes after Pellegrini’s opening goal.
