Soccer-New Greece coach Ranieri to give youth a chance

By Graham Wood ATHENS, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Claudio Ranieri has promised to give young players a chance after being officially presented as the new coach of Greece. The much-travelled Italian signed a two-year deal in July to have his first crack at international coaching after the contract of his predecessor Fernando Santos expired following the World Cup in Brazil. Under Santos, Greece reached the last 16 for the first time before losing to Costa Rica on penalties. I believe in young players and there will be ample opportunities for them to show their potential," added the 62-year-old former coach of Monaco, Chelsea, Valencia, Parma, Juventus, AS Roma and Inter Milan.
