Roma vs Fiorentina: Away fans banned from Olimpico

Roma have collected a series of awards at the Gran Galà del Calcio – Rever, with goalkeeper Mile Svilar named Serie A's best goalkeeper and Donyell Malen chosen as best forward. The winners were announced at a press conference held today at the AIA Auditorium at the Stadio Città di Arezzo. The ceremony itself takes place on Monday 16 November in Arezzo, where the awards dedicated to the 2025-26 season will be officially celebrated. The honours follow recognition Roma received in September from the Associazione Italiana Calciatori (AIC). At the AIC Gran Galà, held on 2 September at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Svilar was voted goalkeeper of the year and included in the Serie A ideal XI alongside Malen, who was chosen from the three best forwards in the league by the players' own vote. The Arezzo awards add further recognition for the club's contribution to the previous campaign. Gianluca Mancini, Manu Koné and Malen have also been included in the Top 11 of the league. Gian Piero Gasperini was named coach of the ideal team, a recognition for the head coach that also honours several of the players who form part of his project at Roma. The Top 11 at the Arezzo gala is made up of Butez; Palestra, Valle, Mancini, Ramon; Orsolini, Zaccagni, Modric, Koné; Lautaro Martinez and Malen, with Gasperini named on the bench. The best coach award went to Cristian Chivu, while Cesc Fabregas was chosen as the best young coach. Tony D'Amico was honoured as the best sporting director for his work last season at Atalanta, before his move to Roma. The best sporting director award went to Carlalberto Ludi of Como. The gala celebrates the protagonists of the previous season, with numerous individual and collective awards on the night.

Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar has been named best goalkeeper for the third consecutive year at the Gran Galà del Calcio, the fifteenth edition of the awards, which takes place on Monday 16 November in Arezzo. The event was conceived and produced by journalist and project manager Donato Alfani. Several Roma players and staff feature among the honourees. Donyell Malen makes the Top 11, alongside Gianluca Mancini and Manu Koné. Gian Piero Gasperini has been chosen as coach of the Serie A Top 11 for the 2025-26 season, a Roma link that underlines the club's presence in the awards. The Top 11 also includes Butez, Palestra, Valle, Ramon, Orsolini, Zaccagni, Modric, Martinez. Chivu will receive the award for best coach, while Fabregas will be named best young coach. D'Amico and Ludi will be proclaimed best sporting director and best sporting executive respectively.

Paulo Dybala could return to Roma's starting line-up for the trip to Parma on 21 November, with Gian Piero Gasperini reportedly weighing up a start for the Argentine forward at kick-off, while Matías Soulé may begin on the bench and be introduced during the game. The reasoning centres on the international break, which has left Roma with 11 players called up to their national teams, more than any other club in the squad sense described by the source. Argentina are the national side with the largest number of Roma players called up: Leonardo Balerdi, Santiago Castro and Matías Soulé will all be involved in Argentina's upcoming fixtures. Argentina face Uruguay on 14 November and Costa Rica on 18 November. The Costa Rica match is the one that could cause Gasperini problems ahead of the resumption of Serie A and the away trip to Parma, scheduled for 21 November at 18:00. After the game against Costa Rica, Soulé, Castro and Balerdi will not return to Rome until 19 November. That leaves Gasperini just two days to work with them alongside the rest of the group, before accounting for the inevitable fatigue of the long intercontinental journey. For this reason, the Roma coach is reportedly considering starting Dybala from the first minute against Parma, while Soulé could start on the bench and be used once the match is underway. Roma's total of 11 internationals is the headline figure for the break, and it is the travel schedule rather than the opponents that is shaping Gasperini's selection options for the Parma match. The Argentine trio's late return means that the Parma fixture is the key pressure point for the coach's rotation decisions.
