Claudio Ranieri is set to leave Roma at the end of the season
On the international stage, England boss Gareth Southgate was saddened by racial abuse aimed at Danny Rose and Raheem Sterling during a 5-1 win at Montenegro in March.
And despite the incidents in Serie A during the season, Ranieri told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “The racism you hear in stadiums is just something very silly to mock, in a very, very stupid way, a lad whose skin colour is not as light.
“It’s silliness. I don’t think there is real racism in stadiums, or at least it’s only a very small part of it.”
