Overview
- Roma, which released an official statement Friday, confirmed Claudio Ranieri has left his senior adviser role and said it has full confidence in Gian Piero Gasperini.
- Club messaging and Italian reports describe a move toward a coach‑centered model, with Gasperini set to steer transfers and staffing in an English‑style manager setup.
- Reporting in Italy says sporting director Frederic Massara is likely to depart next, and Cristiano Giuntoli is under consideration as a replacement, though contacts have not been confirmed.
- Contract plans are being reworked under the coach’s influence, with talks expected to restart for Lorenzo Pellegrini and with Paulo Dybala exploring a pay cut to stay, according to local outlets.
- The split followed Ranieri’s public claims that Gasperini was a lower‑priority hire and Gasperini’s complaints about recruitment and injury management, with Roma now sixth in Serie A and seeking stability for the run‑in.
