Pafos director Giaretta included in Roma’s shortlist
Pafos director Giaretta included in Roma’s shortlist A thorough search, with a list of five or six names that, in the hopes of Gian Piero Gasperini in particular, will lead to a definitive choice as soon as possible. Time is running out, and Roma hasn’t yet fully identified the right candidate to replace Ricky Massara as sporting director. Many professionals have been contacted, some like Manna and D’Amico identified as priority candidates, but there’s a new name on the horizon that could materialize if the main targets fall through.
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport , Cristiano Giaretta is among the five or six names the Friedkins are considering. The former Udinese and Ascoli sporting director has chosen to move abroad in recent years and start over at Pafos, a club that has surprised European football by achieving excellent results and even playing in the Champions League. In recent hours, Medhi Benatia has also been the subject of discussion, with speculation surrounding a sensational sporting director swap with Massara heading to Marseille and the Moroccan, conversely, heading to the capital.
