The Friedkin family completed a perfect weekend on the back of Roma's derby victory over Lazio and a climb to the top of the Serie A table ahead of Juventus. Beyond Rome, owners Dan and Ryan also celebrated promotion for Cannes, another club under their ownership alongside Everton. The French club clinched first place in Championnat National 2 Group C with 60 points across 30 matches, securing promotion to Championnat National 1—France's third tier—for the first time in 15 years following a 2–0 win over Lusitanos Saint-Maur on the final day.
The Friedkin Group, which took control of AS Roma in August 2020, has built a multi-club portfolio across Europe. Cannes' historic return to the third division marks a significant milestone in the family's broader football operations, though further promotion to Ligue 2 would be required to restore the club to professional status.
Gasperini commented on his working relationship at Trigoria: "With Ryan at Trigoria there is no intermediary who changes opinions." Cannes' achievement caps a landmark period for the ownership structure, combining domestic success at Roma with tangible progress at their French affiliate.
