Friedkin's Decision: Ranieri Exits Roma, Gasperini Given Full Authority

Source: Forza Roma

Claudio Ranieri is departing AS Roma after ten months as senior advisor. The Friedkin ownership has chosen Gian Piero Gasperini as the club's future coach and decided to part ways with Ranieri to give Gasperini complete authority. The separation follows tension between the two experienced figures; Ranieri's recent comments before the Roma-Pisa match had created friction, and Gasperini sought clarity before the upcoming Bologna fixture. The club confirmed the decision through an official announcement after a lengthy meeting between the presidency and Ranieri.

Ranieri had been brought in as a key figure overseeing the technical project but became a point of contention in recent days, facing criticism from supporters for the first time in his career. However, his Roma legacy remains significant, including his role as a player and three managerial stints, notably the dramatic comebacks in 2010 and last season. The separation was deemed inevitable by the club, with Ranieri's departure paving the way for Gasperini to strengthen the technical structure. Following this move, director of sport Massara is also expected to leave Roma.

Gasperini's enhanced role may lead to changes in the sporting director position, with details remaining unclear on specific replacements. Ranieri himself appeared at the Italian Olympic Committee headquarters the morning of the announcement, offering supportive words for the team's final league push. His future path could potentially include a role with the Italian national team as technical director.

(Photo by Luciano Rossi/AS Roma via Getty Images)Ieri la presidenza giallorossa ha avuto un lungo colloquio con Ranieri e stamattina tramite un comunicato, annuncerà che Sir Claudio saluterà la Roma Redazione 24 aprile - 07:10 Un fulmine, di certo non a ciel sereno ma che ha comunque squarciato il cielo di Roma. I Friedkin, infatti, hanno scelto Gasperini per la Roma del futuro e hanno deciso di separarsi da Claudio Ranieri che quindi saluta come senior advisor della Roma dopo soli dieci mesi dalla nomina. Troppo forte l'attrito con Gasp, troppo difficile arrivare a una pace tra due tra i personaggi più esperti della serie A. Le parole di Ranieri prima di Roma-Pisa sono state uno scossone e da giorni si attendeva un intervento sulla questione. Lo stesso Gasperini voleva una risposta chiara e si aspettava una decisione prima della sfida di domani col Bologna. Ieri la presidenza giallorossa ha avuto un lungo colloquio con Ranieri e stamattina tramite un comunicato, annuncerà che Sir Claudio saluterà la Roma e lascerà quindi campo libero a Gasperini. La formula potrebbe essere quella della rescissione consensuale visto il rapporto di stima tra Friedkin e il dirigente, ma poco cambia. Di fatto - scrive Francesco Balzani su Leggo - Ranieri da oggi non sarà più il senior advisor. Una scelta forte presa su quello che era stato il garante del progetto tecnico appena iniziato e su un totem del romanismo che negli ultimi giorni era stato messo in discussione per la prima volta nella sua vita dalla tifoseria. Nessuno dimentica le sue tre avventure da allenatore (e una da calciatore). E le due rimonte pazzesche nel 2010 e della scorsa stagione oltre al rifiuto ad accettare il ruolo di ct della nazionale nove mesi fa proprio per rispetto della Roma. Ma la separazione con Gasp era inevitabile. La proprietà americana vuole puntare sul tecnico di Grugliasco per il futuro e si affiderà a lui per la ristrutturazione del comparto dirigenziale. Perché dopo Ranieri dovrebbe salutare anche il direttore sportivo Massara. La figura del tecnico quindi si rafforza e potrebbe portare all'arrivo di uno tra Giuntoli (favorito) e D'Amico e al ritorno di fiamma per Totti. E Ranieri? Il futuro prossimo potrebbe portarlo finalmente in Nazionale nel ruolo di direttore tecnico. Presto per dirlo, ma non difficile da immaginare. Sir Claudio ieri mattina era comparso a sorpresa sul palco del Salone d'Onore del Coni. "Ci aspettiamo il meglio, i ragazzi stanno dando tutto, quindi forza sempre comunque vada. Ora siamo tutti uniti per un unico scopo", le parole del dirigente in riferimento al rush finale di campionato.Leggi anche Roma all’ultimo sprint per l’Europa: Gasp punta su Dybala, Soulé e Malen Riecco Dybala, novanta giorni dopo.
