Roma and Everton under Friedkin ownership: structural and management differences between the two clubs

Roma sporting director Tony D'Amico has been forced to withdraw from the Social Football Summit in Turin because of flu-like symptoms. He had been announced as a guest at the event, where he was due to speak at 12.30 alongside Sky Sport journalists Gianluca Di Marzio and Luca Marchetti, but he had to decline the invitation. On Monday, the club's chief business officer Gandler and head of institutional relations Lucia Bernabé spoke on the stage at the summit. The absence comes at a busy time for the club, with a transfer-market meeting planned at Trigoria in the coming days involving head coach Gian Piero Gasperini and the ownership. Ryan Friedkin is also expected in the capital for those discussions.

Roma's away fixture at Parma on 21 November has been thrown into doubt after the Osservatorio Nazionale sulle Manifestazioni Sportive suspended its ruling on ticket sales for the match at the Stadio Tardini. The decision, as reported by Il Romanista, leaves the situation for Roma's travelling supporters pending further assessment by the competent bodies. For now the suspension is not a definitive ban, but there is a real possibility that restrictions could be introduced for access to the away section. Roma are preparing to return to action after the international break, and the fixture is an important one as the league resumes. Whether Roma fans can buy tickets normally or whether limits will be applied will depend on the next measures issued by the authorities. The match is scheduled for 21 November at the Stadio Tardini, Parma. The Osservatorio's decision on the sale of tickets for Parma-Roma, the fixture set for the coming 21 November, remains the key point for supporters planning to follow the team away from the Stadio Olimpico.

Former Roma goalkeeper and coach Luciano Tessari has died at the age of 98. He passed away yesterday, 10 November, and the club announced his death through a message on its official channels, recalling his contribution as a player, first-team coach and youth coach. Tessari was a close collaborator of Nils Liedholm during the 1982/83 Scudetto season, the club's second title of the Roman era. His name is above all tied to the years of Dino Viola and Liedholm, when the Giallorossi brought the Scudetto back to the capital after more than forty years. He was in the Capital's colours as a player after joining from Verona in 1950, staying until 1958 and making 63 appearances. After ending his playing career in goal, he moved into coaching, working with the club's young players and taking charge of the first team in 1971. He was born in 1928. His name is also closely linked to the second Scudetto won by the Giallorossi in 1983, achieved alongside the Barone. The club described him as one of the figures who shaped one of the most loved sides by Roma supporters. Tessari's death marks the loss of another protagonist of the club's history.
