Source: Forza Roma

The inaugural Giovanni Galeone Prize will take place in Pescara on May 28 at 4:30 PM, honouring the late football coach who passed away on November 2. Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma's head coach, and Massimiliano Allegri have been selected as recipients, recognised for their strong connections to Galeone and the Pescara club during his tenure there. Gasperini shares a particularly close bond with Galeone, who served as his mentor during his time at Pescara.

The event is being organised by the Abruzzese Sports Journalists Union and the Abruzzese Union of Sports Journalists, and will be held in the council chamber of Pescara's municipal building. The ceremony will feature speakers including Italy's FIGC president Gravina, FIGC vice-president Daniele Ortolano, and Abruzzo LND president Ezio Memmo. Several prominent sports journalists are also scheduled to participate, including Francesco Repice from RAI Sport, Riccardo Cucchi, and Paolo Condó.

Galeone was a respected manager who worked with several Italian clubs including Napoli, Udinese, and Perugia throughout his career. The award recognises his legacy and influence on the next generation of Italian football coaches.

Roma shift focus to left-back as Fofana deal stalls; Henrique in crosshairs

Roma's transfer priorities have shifted following the completion of Rodrigo Mora's signing. The club is now concentrating efforts on the left-back position and has deprioritised other targets, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto. Interest in Malick Fofana has cooled considerably. Roma had an agreement in place with the Belgian winger but has not given Lyon the go-ahead to negotiate further. A proposed deal worth €35 million plus add-ons was deemed excessive by the club. After restructuring the terms to bring Mora to the capital, the Fofana operation has been sidelined. Similarly, pressure on Alessio Cacciamani has been relaxed as Roma refocus their efforts elsewhere. Luis Henrique has become the priority target, with Roma now pressing hard on that front. The challenge now is to find agreement on the financial terms between player and club.
