Not after all the tension that played out behind the scenes and in the press over the past few months, not after the increasingly public disagreements between Claudio Ranieri and Gian Piero Gasperini, and not after Gian Piero Gasperini practically spent the last month telling anyone willing to listen that Roma could no longer afford those “misunderstandings” behind the scenes.

Now, after weeks of smoke surrounding Trigoria, the fire has finally arrived in full force: just a few weeks after Claudio Ranieri was shown the door, Frederic Massara is now reportedly also on his way out of the club, with multiple outlets confirming the sporting director will depart the club at the beginning of June. It’s as simple as this: Gasperini won the battle. Three power centers entered Roma’s new era last summer.
