Ranieri Stays Put: No Resignation. Friedkin Still Wants Him at Roma

Source: Forza Roma

Claudio Ranieri has no intention of resigning from his role as senior advisor at AS Roma, and owner Dan Friedkin has reaffirmed his confidence in the veteran administrator. Despite tensions between Ranieri and manager Gian Piero Gasperini, Friedkin has made clear that Ranieri remains a central figure at the club. Gasperini has reportedly requested to work without direct involvement from Ranieri, but the Friedkins have maintained Ranieri's importance even during discussions with the manager. Ranieri's recent statements prior to Roma's match against Pisa were made with the club's best interests in mind, defending the squad and its players as he sees fit. His views largely align with those of the ownership. The fundamental challenge is that Ranieri and Gasperini appear incompatible on numerous fronts, including their approaches to managing personnel and handling internal dynamics at the club's Trigoria training ground. The Friedkins' ideal scenario—reconciliation between the two figures to work together—remains difficult, if not impossible, given the documented disagreements. Ranieri holds a contract through June 2027 and is eager to prove his capabilities as an executive after his managerial success. The situation suggests Roma's leadership is committed to maintaining Ranieri's role despite the friction with their current coaching staff.

È pronto a gettare le basi per la prossima stagione Redazione 22 aprile 2026 (modifica il 22 aprile 2026 | 07:33) I conti si faranno solo alla fine, ma le scelte verranno fatte prima, sia nella mente della proprietà sia dei due contendenti. Di certo però c’è una cosa, che se da una parte Gian Piero Gasperini vuole andare avanti nel suo progetto-Roma (a patto, però, che i Friedkin lo seguano su tutta una serie di cose), dall’altra Claudio Ranieri ha tutta la voglia e il desiderio di dare ancora il suo contributo alla causa giallorossa. Il senior advisor dei Friedkin, infatti, ha incassato la rinnovata fiducia da parte della proprietà, con Dan e Ryan che anche nei colloqui avuti con lo stesso Gasperini hanno ribadito la centralità della figura dell’ex allenatore giallorosso. Il tecnico, invece, tra le richieste esposte alla presidenza romanista ha messo anche quella di non avere più rapporti di lavoro diretti con lo stesso Ranieri. Ranieri - scrive Andrea Pugliese su 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' - prima del Pisa sa di aver parlato cercando di fare il bene della Roma, per difendere un gruppo di giocatori (e di lavoro) e una squadra nel suo complesso. L’intento del senior advisor era esattamente questo, poi il risultato può essere stato diverso dall’obiettivo. Di certo, i pensieri espressi dal dirigente giallorosso sono sostanzialmente anche i pensieri della proprietà della Roma. Anche perché se così non fosse, Ranieri probabilmente sarebbe già stato mandato a casa. Il sogno dei Friedkin è la possibilità che Ranieri e Gasperini possano fare entrambi un passo indietro, decidendo di tornare a lavorare insieme. Fattispecie francamente difficile (se non impossibile) per mille motivi, ad iniziare oramai dall’acclarata incompatibilità su tanti temi: dalla diversa visione con cui approcciarsi alle risorse umane ed ai gruppi di lavoro alla gestione delle dinamiche interne di Trigoria. Del resto, anche Ranieri ha un contratto per un altro anno (fino al 30 giugno 2027) e la grande voglia di dimostrare di essere all’altezza della situazione anche come dirigente, dopo aver fatto meraviglie in panchina.Leggi anche Cafu critica Gasperini e Ranieri: “Non sono ragazzini.

AS Roma Participates in Earth Day 2026 Cleanup on Tiber River, Collects Over 90kg of Waste

AS Roma partnered with AMA (Rome's municipal waste management company) and Ogyre to organize an environmental cleanup initiative along the Tiber River on April 22 for Earth Day 2026. The activity took place at the Foro Italico park, just hundreds of meters from the Olimpico Stadium. Young players from Roma's academy, including Under-13 and Under-14 age groups, along with male Under-17 players Corredera and Saviano, and female Under-19 players Parente and Terlizzi, participated in collecting waste from the riverbanks. The cleanup effort aligns with Roma's climate emergency policy and their broader sustainability strategy. The club is working toward a mission launched with Ogyre to collect 30,000kg of marine and coastal waste by June 2026. By removing litter from river areas before it reaches the sea, the initiative aims to protect aquatic ecosystems and prevent further pollution. Ogyre representatives Alice Casella and Marta Berardini provided education about the global plastic crisis. Participants collected over 90kg of waste, including a shopping cart and plastic table, which were sorted and documented. AMA provided special virtual reality viewers to show participants the journey of collected waste through the recycling process. All waste data was recorded and shared with the European Environment Agency's Citizen Science platform for monitoring pollution dispersal along rivers and beaches. The event combined environmental education with friendly competition, featuring Roma's mascot Romolo.
