Roma Femminile Crowned Italian Champions; Rossettini Dedicates Title to Astori and Manninger
AS Roma's women's team won the Italian championship with a 2–0 victory over Ternana, securing their third Scudetto in club history. Head coach Luca Rossettini and forward Manuela Giugliano, who scored a brace to decide the match, spoke after the triumph. Rossettini said: "It is the culmination of work begun in summer, amid a thousand doubts. No one gave us credit and we started again with a new project with so many unknowns, myself included. I found an extraordinary working group and environment that gave me trust and supported me as I worked. I am proud of my players." He dedicated the victory to his wife and children, to Davide Astori—a former Roma player who played a significant role in his life—and to Alex Manninger, who recently passed away. Giugliano expressed her deep attachment to the club and city, stating: "I love Roma, I love this great family and everyone who works here. If I stay for life? I still have another year of contract. I think we are working on it. I love this city and there are positive foundations to build a future here." The team will compete in a Coppa Italia final and two remaining league matches. Betty Bavagnoli, head of Roma's women's football department, praised the Friedkin family's continued support and highlighted the staff's role in achieving the title, calling it "a success for everyone."
