Roma coach Claudio Ranieri has resigned in the wake of a third straight defeat in the Serie A suffered Sunday at Genoa in which his side fell behind from a three-goal lead earlier in the match.
"I have always thought about the good of Roma. After a game like that of today, I thought it was fair to give a signal," the ANSA news agency quoted Ranieri as saying.
"After the whistle, I went into the changing rooms to thank the team and I decided to offer my resignation."
Before the incredible 4-3 defeat at Genoa, Roma lost against Napoli and Serie A champions Inter Milan and drew the previous two games.
They lie in eighth place with a 16-point deficit from leaders AC Milan with 12 games left to the end of the season.
On Wednesday, they lost 3-2 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in a first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
The Rome-born Ranieri, 59, had been at Roma since 2009. He steered the team to second place behind Inter in the past season.
