Gasperini to hold press conference ahead of Roma–Fiorentina clash

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini will address the media tomorrow at 13:30 ahead of Roma's match against Fiorentina at the Olimpico on Monday. The press conference will cover the squad's condition, player availability, and tactical plans for the fixture against the team managed by Vanoli. The match represents a crucial fixture in Roma's pursuit of Champions League qualification. The Giallorossi must secure victory to maintain pressure on Juventus and keep their European ambitions alive. Recent confidence has returned to the club following a win against Bologna, though the environment had been unsettled by controversy surrounding recent statements from former manager Ranieri. Gasperini will use the press conference to provide updates on team selection and player fitness ahead of what the club considers a vital encounter in the final stages of the season.

Roma Femminile head coach Luca Rossettini addressed the squad ahead of a crucial match against Ternana on 2 May at Tre Fontane stadium, with kick-off at 18:30. The fixture represents a potential title-clinching opportunity for Roma's third Scudetto. Following Roma's recent victory over Juventus, Rossettini emphasized that the team has control of their own destiny and need not look at other results. Rossettini described the upcoming challenge as difficult, noting that Ternana halted Fiorentina's campaign and is fighting for survival. He struck a balance between acknowledging the tension of the occasion and maintaining focus on performance. "The girls are aware that a positive result would be fundamental," Rossettini said. "However, it is a match to be played, and in our season, when the result should have been certain, the matches have not been simple. Our work is to keep them focused on the performance, on playing with aggression. The nearby target is charging them up. My task will be to get them there with the right energy, so they can express themselves at their best." Rossettini highlighted the importance of supporter backing at Tre Fontane, describing the fans' affection as a driving force throughout the season that has propelled the team across European competition.

José Mourinho has dismissed speculation linking him to a return to Real Madrid. In a press conference, Mourinho stated: "No, nobody from Real Madrid has spoken to me, I can guarantee you that." The remarks come amid reports suggesting a potential move to the Spanish club. Mourinho previously managed Roma from 2021 to 2024, leading the club to victory in the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2022. His current status and plans remain the focus of media attention following his departure from the Giallorossi.
