Friedkin confirm Gasperini as English-style manager Claudio Ranieri is leaving Roma, and Gian Piero Gasperini remains firmly in charge. This decision will have immediate consequences, as replacing the now-former Senior Advisor with another advisor focused on developing players à la Vaz would lead to yet another clash. Once the Friedkins decide to entrust their trust to the Grugliasco-born coach, he will become central to Trigoria.
It’s now likely that, after Sir Claudio, Massara, the medical staff, and half of Ranieri’s coaching staff will also be leaving. In short, Gasperini is shaping up to be an English-style manager who doesn’t direct, but decides. The ownership decision is irreversible, there’s no going back.
Gasperini, the fulcrum of the Roma project, must be the one who decides how to deploy the transfer budget. As Il Messaggero reports, this is now the next step unless Ryan, who is unlikely to be Dan, changes his personality and becomes a constantly present president. Not just one week on and three months off.
A constant direct line between the coach, capable of staying eight years in Genoa and nine in Bergamo, precisely because he had a direct relationship with the various presidents. Face-to-face, without advisors or trusted men. Otherwise, the risk is that we’ll be replaying the same story with different protagonists who will clash.
