Friedkins Back Gasperini at Roma as Ranieri’s Role Comes Under Review

Overview

• Roma’s owners have decided to continue with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, according to Tuesday reporting from Corriere dello Sport relayed by Yahoo Sports.
• The same report says senior advisor Claudio Ranieri’s position will be clarified, with expectations he will step further back from day‑to‑day team matters.
• A wider overhaul is being prepared, including a review of sporting director Massara and plans to install a clearer chain of command that the club currently lacks.
• Gasperini previously set four conditions to stay: no working tie with Ranieri, a change at sporting director, greater control over transfers and staff including the medical team, and budget guarantees in line with roughly last year’s spend.
• The rift burst into public view as Roma slipped to sixth in Serie A and the coach felt little public backing from the Friedkins, with the run‑in expected to shape next steps.
