Roma Rift Puts Gasperini’s Future in Doubt Before Atalanta

Owner Dan Friedkin has stayed silent as Italian reports flag possible departures alongside replacement shortlists.

Gian Piero Gasperini took charge of Roma last summer

Overview

  • The public feud has overshadowed the build-up to Saturday’s Atalanta match, which could shape Roma’s push for a Champions League place.
  • Ranieri, in a DAZN interview before Friday’s 3-0 win over Pisa, said every signing since June had Gasperini’s approval and stressed he advises the owners, not the coach.
  • Local reports described open coldness at Roma’s Trigoria base, with Gasperini and Ranieri avoiding each other during a team meal.
  • Reports say Claudio Ranieri could leave the club, and sporting director Frederic Massara might follow if he departs.
  • Media in Italy link the breakdown to season-long disputes over transfer policy, with reported shortlists naming Daniele De Rossi, Vincenzo Italiano and Ernesto Valverde if a coaching change is made.
