After a period of uncertainty, Dan Friedkin, the owner of AS Roma, has expressed his confidence in coach Gian Piero Gasperini, affirming that the club will continue its project under his leadership. This decision comes despite recent controversies, including comments from former coach Claudio Ranieri that have created friction between him and Gasperini. Friedkin recognizes the need for a clear and structured chain of command within the club, which currently lacks critical leadership roles such as a CEO and general manager. As part of a broader internal overhaul, the position of sporting director Gianluca Massara is being reviewed, reflecting the club's commitment to address existing tensions and improve overall management. The lack of defined roles has led to power vacuums and internal conflicts, prompting the need for a dedicated figure to oversee off-field and institutional matters. Currently, AS Roma is represented in the League by Chief Football Operating Officer Maurizio Lombardo, but the absence of a strong leadership structure has made the club vulnerable to instability.
