Roma appoints Mirko Manfrè as head of youth academy for 2026–27 season

Roma full-back Wesley has been called up by Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti for friendlies against Japan and Singapore on 14 and 17 November. The call-up confirms the 2003-born defender has become an established figure in the Selecao, and he has missed no World Cup other than through injury. Wesley was recently at the centre of social media attention following a turbulent separation from his wife. Sharing the news on Instagram, he wrote: "May the new winds bring new chapters, new conquests and even more reasons to be grateful. Another call-up. The same pride. The same desire. I love you, my Brazil." The post was shared from his W43 account, @wesleyfranca03_.

Roma winger Wesley has been called back into the Brazil squad by coach Carlo Ancelotti for friendlies against Japan and Singapore on 14 and 17 November. The Brazilian had missed the early fixtures of the new season through injury, having also been absent from the World Cup. The call-up marks a return to the national side for the Roma player, who is determined to feature in the yellow-and-green shirt once again. The Brazilian's availability for the two matches comes after a period on the sidelines that kept him out of the club's opening commitments. Wesley celebrated the selection on social media with a message to his country: "May the new winds bring new chapters, new conquests and even more reasons to be grateful. Another call-up. The same pride. The same desire. I love you, my Brazil."

Actor Marco Giallini, a passionate Roma supporter, has named Daniele De Rossi as his favourite Giallorossi player. Speaking on Giulia Salemi's podcast 'Nonlofaccioxmoda', he made his choice in a series of head-to-head picks from the club's history. In the podcast game, Giallini was asked to choose between Pruzzo and Falcao, and he kept 'Bomber' Pruzzo. Pruzzo was then beaten by Bruno Conti in the next round. Marazico went through over Conti but lost out to Agostino Di Bartolomei, with Giallini saying: "Tutti i migliori mi stai dicendo" ("You're telling me all the best ones"). The final came down to De Rossi and Francesco Totti, and Giallini had no doubts. "Scelgo Daniele, sono un tifoso sfegatato. Appena appena..." ("I choose Daniele, I am a dyed-in-the-wool fan. Just barely..."). He compared the decision to choosing between mum and dad.
