The sleeping giant hasn’t yet awakened since the Friedkins’ arrival.
There were some major dreams under Mourinho, especially in Europe with two consecutive finals, but little else since 2020.
Now it’s Gasperini’s turn, chosen by Ranieri, who finds himself working with Massara, with whom he doesn’t always seem to share the same ideas.
The relationship between the Grugliasco coach and Sir Claudio quickly deteriorated due to the latter’s infrequent presence.
Gasperini didn’t appreciate this distance. In the middle is Massara, the manager’s first target for debate.
The transfer window has divided Roma, especially Gasperini and Massara.
As Corriere della Sera reports, the coach had approved the sale of Koné to acquire Sancho, a deal that was blocked by the Friedkins. There were numerous disagreements: Rios, Rowe, Fabio Silva, Boga, and even Zirkzee.
Gasperini listens to outside advice from trusted people who don’t work at Trigoria and, as with Malen, acts accordingly. In other situations, however, he cashes in, as happened with Robinio Vaz.
Zaragoza was a shared acquisition, despite not being first on the coach’s list, but after reviewing him, the green light was given. Now he’s disappeared from Trigoria’s radar.
In short, it doesn’t seem like everyone is moving in the same direction. The owners, however, assure that everyone will stay: Gasperini, Ranieri, and Massara.
