Overview
- The Lega Serie A granted a deroga on Friday that removes rules barring a director from contracts with two clubs in one season and lets Tony D'Amico operate openly at Trigoria.
- D'Amico ended his formal ties with Atalanta to take the role and replaces Frederic Massara, whose contract ended on May 29; Maurizio Lombardo had been due to act as interim for June.
- His immediate market agenda prioritises selling Matias Soulé for around €40 million, pressing Marseille on a structured transfer for Mason Greenwood and finalising high‑profile contract renewals.
- Roma faces a June 30 accounting window tied to a settlement with UEFA so D'Amico and the club plan deals with staged payments to record smaller immediate costs on this season's books.
- D'Amico's appointment builds on his working relationship with coach Gian Piero Gasperini and will see club leadership, including Ryan Friedkin, directly involved in major negotiations over the coming days.
