The atmosphere in Roma is electric despite the important victory over Lecce, which brought the Romans back to three points from the Champions League zone.
The relationship between Gasparini and the club's two trusted men - Massara and Ranieri, is far from ideal, and the main reason is well known: the ambitions of the owners and the politics of the transfer market, reports “Il Messaggero”.
The former Atalanta coach likes to work with young players, but also insists on more experienced players with specific characteristics suitable for his style of play. It is on this point that Gasparini will demand guarantees from Friedkini if he decides to remain at the helm of the team next season.
The American owners, for their part, do not plan personnel changes in the middle of the season, but expect qualification for the Champions League — mainly because of the financial participation and the prospect of strengthening the squad.
Until the end of the season, the owners have asked everyone at the club to reduce public statements and show at least a minimum of unity, since the goal is still achievable. The only thing that seems certain is that the trio of Ranieri — Massara — Gasparini will hardly work together next season, according to information from the Italian newspaper.
