Gasperini: FFP Information Has Changed, Roma Hope to Resolve Quickly

Gian Piero Gasperini will not hold his usual press conference on the eve of Roma's Serie A trip to Napoli, the Giallorossi boss has confirmed through the club's routine. The match, the eighth round of Serie A, takes place at the Maradona on Saturday 24 October at 18:00. Gasperini took part in the press conferences ahead of the Genoa and Slovan Bratislava fixtures, but he will not attend the pre-match briefing for this league game. As he did last season, the Roma coach is skipping the conference because his side played in Europe during the week. Napoli's head coach Allegri, by contrast, will speak to the media as normal tomorrow at 12:30.

Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini will not attend the traditional pre-match press conference ahead of the big match against Napoli, which is scheduled for Saturday 24 October at 18:00 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. According to Angelo Mangiante, speaking on Radio Mana Mana Sport, Gasperini will not take part in the press conference tomorrow, 23 October, where he would normally present the fixture against Napoli. The giallorossi are preparing for the high-profile encounter in Naples. Mangiante's report was broadcast on Radio Mana Mana Sport, and the news comes in the build-up to a Saturday evening fixture that will be played at the Maradona.

Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has been named the winner of the 5th edition of the "Un cuore da leone" award, set up by Stelle nello Sport to honour the memory of sports journalist Gian Luigi Corti. Gasperini beat other prominent figures in Italian sport, including Arianna Fontana, Gregorio Paltrinieri, Ambra Sabatini and Nicolò Martinenghi. The award goes each year to a figure who refuses to give in to difficulties and who sees in every uphill climb a new chance to win. It is the latest recognition for Gasperini, who was appointed Roma head coach in 2025. Michele Corti, president of Stelle nello Sport, praised the coach: "Gian Piero Gasperini is not only a coach: he is the architect of a football dream that has become reality." The award will be presented on Sunday 8 November in Genoa, during Stelle nello Sport's traditional Charity Event in support of the Fondazione Gigi Ghirotti, at the Porto Antico.
