AS Roma head coach Claudio Ranieri is reportedly a managerial candidate for Celtic.
Ranieri is in charge of AS Roma at the moment, but the former Leicester City and Chelsea manager will leave the Serie A outfit at the end of the season.
According to Calciomercatoweb.it, the Italian tactician is a managerial candidate for the Hoops.
Former Celtic midfielder Donati, 38, believes that his fellow Italian Ranieri will be a good managerial appointment for the Hoops.
Former England national team head coach Fabio Capello has also given his back to his compatriot Ranieri.
Donati told The Sunday Post: “I have heard Claudio Ranieri is one of the coaches they are looking at, and I can see why. He is a football man, is very experienced and has succeeded in several countries.
“He would have no problem adapting to Scottish football, which is more physical and less technical than the Italian and English games.
“Certainly, he should find different challenges in Glasgow than he has in his other jobs. But for a man like him, with his past, I am sure it would not be a problem.”
Capello told The Sunday Post: “Claudio is at the top level of his profession, and after what he did at Leicester, he can do anything – even in Scotland.
“For him, it would be another excellent challenge, and considering the quality of Celtic, he could also perhaps win another title to add to his collection.”
Blockbuster managerial appointment
Ranieri is a big name in the world of football, and the Italian will be a massive managerial appointment for Celtic.
