Overview
- Gasperini, speaking after the 4-0 win over Fiorentina, said he will only work with his own ideas and would leave if forced to follow others’ plans.
- With Claudio Ranieri already out, reporting indicates he wants the new chain of command built around him, with sporting director Massara likely to be replaced as the Friedkin family vets candidates.
- He has stepped into contract talks, moving to extend Celik and El Shaarawy and considering next steps for Dybala and Pellegrini.
- He criticized Roma’s injury management, pointing to reliance on outside specialists and conservative therapies that slowed comebacks, citing delays for Dybala, Ferguson and Dovbyk.
- The key fault line is transfers, as he favors a few targeted signings over the owners’ under-24, resale-driven spending of more than €200 million, a shift he argues is needed to stay in the Champions League race.
