Overview
- Roma, which announced Ranieri’s exit Friday, said it has full confidence in the path ahead under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
- Ranieri told ANSA the termination was a unilateral club decision after their public dispute over transfer approvals and his claim Gasperini was not a top choice last summer.
- Italian outlets report a wider shake-up could follow, with sporting director Frederic Massara likely to leave and Cristiano Giuntoli cited as a candidate to run recruitment.
- With Gasperini staying, local reports say talks could restart for Lorenzo Pellegrini’s renewal and possibly Paulo Dybala on a reduced wage.
- Roma sit sixth with five league matches left, and Gasperini said “Roma comes before everything” as he faced questions about the fallout and his working ties.
