Totti sends Roma birthday wishes on club's 99th anniversary

AS Roma has expressed its condolences following the death of Antonio Trebiciani at the age of 88. Trebiciani was a historic figure in the club's youth academy and served as head coach of the first team in 1973. Trebiciani left a lasting legacy at Roma through his work developing generations of young players. His contributions shaped the club's identity over many decades, and his influence on player development became a defining part of Roma's history. The club released a statement saying: "L'AS Roma esprime il proprio cordoglio per la scomparsa di Antonio Trebiciani, storico allenatore del Settore Giovanile giallorosso e guida della Prima Squadra nel 1973. Con il suo lavoro ha contribuito alla crescita di generazioni di calciatori, lasciando un segno profondo nella storia del Club. Tutta l'AS Roma si stringe al dolore della sua famiglia e dei suoi cari." Roma's entire organisation extends its sympathies to his family and loved ones.

Andrea Pirlo is set to become Italy's new head coach after Pep Guardiola rejected the national team role. The appointment, barring unforeseen circumstances, marks a significant moment in Italian football as the federation moves forward with its managerial search. At AS Roma, Lorenzo Pellegrini continues to await contract renewal discussions while dining with Gianluca Mancini. The club has paid tribute to Daniele De Rossi, the former manager and Roma legend, in the wake of his recent departure. Roma also mourned the death of Antonio Trebiciani, who passed away at 88 years old.

Antonio Trebiciani, the influential Roma youth academy coach who developed some of the club's greatest players, has died at the age of 88. Born in Ostia, Trebiciani spent much of his career at Roma's Trigoria academy, where he became the most successful coach in the club's Primavera history. He won three Primavera titles between 1973 and 1978, and claimed back-to-back Coppa Italia Primavera victories in 1973–74 and 1974–75. Trebiciani's impact on Roma extended beyond youth development. In 1973, he stepped in to manage the first team after Helenio Herrera's departure, guiding Roma through the final six matches of the season, recording four draws and two defeats—results sufficient to secure Serie A survival on goal difference. More significantly, he was instrumental in nurturing the careers of legendary Roma players, having launched Agostino Di Bartolomei, discovered Bruno Conti, and overseen the early development of Claudio Ranieri. AS Roma released an official statement: "The AS Roma expresses its condolences for the passing of Antonio Trebiciani, historic manager of the Youth Sector and guide of the First Team in 1973. Through his work he contributed to the growth of generations of footballers, leaving a profound mark on the Club's history. All of AS Roma shares the pain of his family and loved ones."
