Roma Femminile parts ways with head coach Rossettini despite domestic double

AS Roma have entered the race to sign Saël Kumbedi, a 21-year-old French right-back currently at Wolfsburg. Kumbedi is expected to leave the German club following their relegation to Bundesliga 2. Despite a difficult season for Wolfsburg, the young defender registered 5 assists across 27 appearances. Roma's primary transfer targets remain Greenwood and Moreira as the club prepares for its return to the Champions League under head coach Gasperini. However, the Giallorossi are continuing to explore additional reinforcements for their squad. Kumbedi has attracted attention from multiple clubs, with SS Lazio also making enquiries about the player. Porto, Feyenoord, and an unnamed Ligue 1 side are also monitoring his availability. The 2005-born talent represents a potential depth option at right-back as Roma strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new season.

Two AS Roma players remain in contention at the ongoing World Cup and will compete in the round-of-16 stage on Saturday. Neil El Aynaoui will feature for Morocco against Canada in Houston at 19:00, while Manu Koné will play for France against Paraguay in Philadelphia at 23:00. Both matches are scheduled for the same day, with the winners advancing to the quarter-finals. Roma's involvement in the tournament has been limited following earlier eliminations. Defender Çelik's Turkey exited in the group stage, while Ndicka's Ivory Coast and Malen's Netherlands were knocked out in the round-of-16, with El Aynaoui's Morocco notably defeating the Dutch. El Aynaoui and Koné now represent the club's final representatives in the competition. Should both Roma players' respective nations win their matches, an intriguing scenario would unfold: France and Morocco would face each other in the quarter-finals, creating a potential all-Roma midfield clash between the two sides' Giallorossi contingent. The outcomes of Saturday's fixtures will determine whether this derby materializes in the next round.

AS Roma's women's team has announced the departure of head coach Luca Rossettini through an official statement released on the club's official channels. The change marks a new chapter for the Giallorossi women's side, as Rossettini steps down from his position leading the squad. Details regarding the timing and circumstances of his exit, as well as information about his successor, remain unclear from the available information.
