After having made his Serie A debut for Fiorentina, on 31 January 2020, Ranieri was loaned to Serie B side Ascoli until the end of the season.[9] On the next day he made his debut for the club in a 3–0 away win over Livorno, he was replaced by Erick Ferigra in the 93rd minute.[10] On 21 June he played his first entire match for the club, a 1–0 home defeat against Perugia.[11] Ranieri ended his 6-month loan to Ascoli with only 10 appearances, including 9 as a starter.[8]
