Gasperini: “Dobbiamo essere contenti del percorso che stiamo facendo. Ci sono tante energie positive”

Gianluca Mancini turned down a significantly richer offer from Inter this summer to remain at Roma, a decision driven by loyalty to the club. During Roma's big match against Inter, the Curva Sud paid tribute to the defender with a banner reading: "In a football where only money counts, there is someone who listened to his heart. Honour to Gianluca Mancini." Mancini, substituted during the match, rose from the bench and applauded the Roma supporters in return. The 23-year-old has become an idol to the Roma fanbase and earlier renewed his contract until 2029, cementing his future at the club. His decision to prioritise Roma over a more lucrative move underscores the strength of his commitment to the Giallorossi.

Jason Morrow has departed his role as AS Roma's Chief Financial Officer after just over a year with the club. His duties will transfer to CEO John Galantic, who arrived at Trigoria at the end of July. Morrow, a long-time aide to the Friedkin Group with extensive experience at Gulf States Toyota, completed his mission in recent months and is returning to Houston, where the Friedkin Group's leadership is based. Roma described his departure positively, stating the club "considers his work at Trigoria concluded successfully and expresses gratitude for what he has done in these months." The club regards its organisational structure as now complete, with Galantic fully operational and focused on a demanding year ahead, including the club's centenary campaign. Over his tenure, Morrow worked alongside the management to uphold the club's financial planning, navigating the strict constraints of Financial Fair Play regulations and adhering to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

AS Roma and Q8 have announced an expanded partnership bringing official radio commentary of Roma's Serie A and Coppa Italia matches to Q8 Radio from the 2026–27 season. The broadcasts will be exclusive to the Lazio region and available via DAB+, extending beyond match action to include pre-match and post-match content, analysis and features on Roma players and the club environment. The radio service will form the centrepiece of a wider editorial experience designed to connect supporters with the club throughout a matchday, even when unable to attend the Olimpico. Michael Gandler, Roma's Chief Business Officer, said: "This is truly one of the most innovative partnerships in football today. Through the radio network, Q8 and AS Roma will offer the passionate local giallorossi fanbase a new way to experience the emotion of the Olimpico, even when it is not possible to be present at the stadium. The radio commentary and content accompanying the matches will allow fans to feel even closer to the squad and share the emotion of the game, wherever they are." Fabio Curtacci, Q8 Italia's Retail & Marketing Director, added: "With this project we want to bring our partnership with AS Roma into the match experience, creating a story that does not end at the final whistle or the result. Q8 Radio becomes a space for meeting and sharing to experience together the anticipation, follow the match and continue talking about it together, giving voice to the protagonists and the fans."
