The situation at AS Roma's Trigoria training complex has become increasingly complicated, particularly due to the strained relationship between head coach Gian Piero Gasperini and Claudio Ranieri. Sporting director Ricky Massara, who has struggled to maintain a positive rapport with Gasperini, may soon find himself out of a job if the coach earns the trust of the club's owners, the Friedkin family. Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that Gasperini has expressed a preference for a new sporting director during discussions with the Friedkins. While some delays in transfer dealings may be attributed to ownership decisions rather than solely to Massara, his future remains uncertain. Notably, Massara shares a strong bond with Ranieri, which could help him retain his position if Ranieri remains at the club. However, if Gasperini continues as coach, the club is already speculating about potential replacements for Massara. Cristiano Giuntoli is currently the most favored candidate, with Tony D’Amico and Sean Sogliano also in consideration.
