Chelsea was the first major elite club that Claudio would coach. His four years with Chelsea was considered to be average as the team did not accomplish any major goals. Claudio said he mainly tried to focus on team building. He decided to return to his former club Valencia in 2004. His second stint with Valencia was short, as he was dismissed in February 2005. In 2007, he went on to join Parma. His time with Parma was one of his shortest coaching jobs as he left only after a few months to join Juventus. After Juventus, he managed Roma, Inter Milan, Monaco and the Greece national team before landing with Leicester City in 2015.
