Roma restructures technical staff; Tarantino exit confirmed, Del Vescovo eyes return

Source: Forza Roma

Roma is undergoing significant changes to its technical and medical staff following recent managerial decisions. Riccardo Del Vescovo, who previously worked at the club between 2015 and 2020, has emerged as the leading candidate to become the new head of medical services. His appointment is being seriously considered as part of the broader restructuring process being discussed between coach Gian Piero Gasperini and the Friedkin Group ownership.

The club has identified the medical department as a priority area for improvement in its planning for the coming season, with several issues having emerged during the current campaign. While multiple candidates are under consideration for the medical role, the decision is not considered urgent. Separately, the position of youth academy director remains open and could be closely linked to the incoming sporting director appointment, meaning clarity on that front may take additional time.

Tarantino, the previous youth academy head, will not be returning to the club. Discussions with him were terminated following the decision to remove Ranieri and Massara from their roles. The overall staff reshuffle reflects Roma's intent to make substantial changes across the technical structure heading into the next season.

Interrotti i discorsi con l'ex responsabile del settore giovanile dopo l'addio a Ranieri Redazione 15 maggio - 09:44 Caos derby, Onorato: "Massima fiducia nella decisione di Prefettura e Questura" Non solo direttore sportivo e rinnovi. Al centro dei discorsi tra Gasperini e i Friedkin c'è anche la riorganizzazione dello staff tecnico e medico col quale è sorto più di un problema in questa stagione. Il grande favorito a diventare il nuovo responsabile dello staff medico è Riccardo Del Vescovo, già presente a Trigoria tra il 2015 e il 2020. La sua candidatura starebbe prendendo quota nell’ambito dei cambiamenti richiesti per la prossima stagione. Il club è infatti intenzionato a intervenire in maniera significativa sul comparto sanitario, uno dei temi ritenuti centrali nella programmazione futura. In ballo ci sono anche altre candidature e comunque è una decisione che non necessita di priorità. Poi c'è la scelta del responsabile del vivaio. Che potrebbe essere strettamente collegata a quella del prossimo direttore sportivo e per questo motivo servirà ancora un po’ di pazienza prima della fumata bianca. Di certo non tornerà Tarantino per il quale i discorsi si sono interrotti dopo la decisione di rimuovere Ranieri e Massara. © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA Commenta Continua la lettura Commenti Invia Commento Tutti Leggi altri commenti

Celik Close to Contract Extension but Not Gasperini's First Choice at Right-back

Zeki Celik is close to signing a new three-year contract with AS Roma following Turkey's elimination from the World Cup at the group stage. The club and player have reached an agreement in principle, with an announcement expected in the coming days. However, Celik will not be Gasperini's starting right-back. The head coach has requested reinforcement on the right flank and views Celik as a versatile option who can operate on either wing or as a right centre-back to rotate with Gianluca Mancini. Gasperini's primary target for the right-back position is a younger profile than Molina, who is considered a secondary option at 28 years old. Dodô is not being pursued, as Roma has not made any formal approach for the player. On the left side, Wesley remains a key part of the plans after rejecting Chelsea and is ready for the upcoming season. Ruggeri is not a target for Roma. The club will seek an alternative to Wesley on the left, with Angeliño expected to depart. Roma continues to work on contract extensions for key players, with Celik's renewal progressing alongside talks with Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini regarding their own deals.

Roma faces potential UEFA sanctions without player sales by June 30

Roma is under pressure to generate revenue through player sales before the June 30 deadline to avoid financial sanctions from UEFA. The club is pursuing profit-building transfers to meet regulatory requirements, with the situation reaching a critical stage as the deadline approaches. Without achieving sufficient plusvalenze (capital gains from player transfers), Roma risks facing disciplinary action from European football authorities. The financial framework governing European clubs requires compliance with strict spending rules, and failure to generate expected player sales could result in UEFA penalties.
