Feliciani to referee Roma against Cagliari at the Olimpico

Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini has said the club have come through their recent big matches very well, describing the run as positive ahead of the trip to Cagliari. Speaking on the eve of the match, Gasperini said: "Sono state tre partite diverse ma belle. Nelle tre gare ne siamo usciti molto bene, non so se meritavamo di più ma di sicuro non di meno" — "They were three different but beautiful matches. In the three games we came out of them very well. I don't know if we deserved more, but certainly not less." The comments come as Gasperini reflects on three demanding fixtures for the Giallorossi, with his side taking positives from how they performed across the run. The coach's assessment frames the period as a constructive one for the squad as they head into the Cagliari game. Gasperini's remarks were published on 26 October 2026 by the Italian outlet Forzaroma.info, which also carried a series of related Roma stories on the same day, including updates on the injured players and comments on Paulo Dybala's recovery.

Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini has responded to comments made by Napoli boss Massimiliano Allegri, calling the remark an unfortunate one. Gasperini said: "The Allegri phrase? An unfortunate remark. On Roma in the Champions League, the numbers speak." Paulo Dybala returns to the squad for the match against Cagliari. The exchange comes as Roma compete in the UEFA Champions League this season, having qualified by finishing third in Serie A 2025-26.

Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has responded to comments attributed to Massimiliano Allegri, saying the remark was an unfortunate one and that nobody agrees with it. Speaking after Roma's match at the Maradona, Gasperini addressed the phrase attributed to his counterpart. Gasperini said: "There are the numbers, the testimonies, the data, on the matches from last year. I haven't read a single favourable comment on this observation." He added that the claim had no support in the evidence he had seen, and he was clear that the view was not shared by others in the game. The exchange comes amid a busy week for the Giallorossi, with Gasperini also giving an update on injured players, including Paulo Dybala, whom he said he was confident about returning from injury. Allegri has also been in the headlines after a disciplinary ruling following the Napoli-Roma fixture, in which he received a two-match suspension and a 10,000 euro fine.
