Reasons behind Florent Ghisolfi's Roma exit
Serie A side Roma will part ways with sporting director Florent Ghisolfi soon and the decision has come rather abruptly from the Friedkins, who are no strangers to making those. La Gazzetta dello Sport have explored the situation and they speak of the reasons behind the Frenchman's exit from the Stadio Olimpico. Advertisement They believe that tensions were lingering at the club due to the situation of Mile Svilar, whose contract situation was being delayed. While the farewell took place by mutual agreement, the goalkeeper's renewal proved to be the last straw for the Friedkins. The newspaper claim that Ghisolfi had a strained relationship with many agents – including those of Alexis Saelemaekers. The ownership wanted to cash in on the sale of Angelino and the failure to do has fallen on Ghisolfi's shoulders. More than that, there were issues regarding the renewals of many Primavera players. These issues emerged in a clear video call involving the parties and the Friedkins learned that only Claudio Ranieri's intervention was making sure of Svilar's renewal. A solution was reached early in the morning and CFO Lorenzo Vitali was the one to show Ghisolfi the door, with Ricky Massara in pole position to replace the Frenchman. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

Roma's Financial Fair Play restrictions to be lifted in 2026
Roma are heading into the final year of major financial restrictions on the market imposed by UEFA. As evidenced by several news outlets in Italy today, the constraints imposed by the Settlement Agreement with UEFA will officially expire in June 2026. Advertisement Until then, the Giallorossi will have to continue to operate with narrow margins, respecting the parameters of Financial Fair Play. But the horizon is finally starting to clear. From 2026, barring new violations, Roma will exit the sanctions regime that has forced it in recent years to adopt a policy of containment, made up of forced sales and targeted signings, often on a free transfer or with creative formulas involving loans deals. A necessity rather than a choice, due to the obligations undertaken with UEFA to return to the expected economic parameters. For the Friedkins, this will be a turning point. Once freed from the restrictions, the American ownership will no longer have any excuses: it will finally be able to build a Roma that lives up to its declared ambitions. More freedom on the market, more room for investment and, consequently, fewer constraints in building a competitive squad for the top of Serie A.

Allegri makes appearance in Rome following Roma rumors
Massimiliano Allegri has been spotted in the Italian capital following a series of rumors linking him with the Giallorossi. According to Il Messaggero, his visit is officially to enjoy the International Tennis Championships at the Foro Italico, but it is inevitable that his presence in the capital will turn the spotlight on the hottest topic of the moment: the future of the Giallorossi bench. Advertisement Today's edition of the Italian newspaper underlines how the former Juventus coach is currently the hottest name for the post-Ranieri, while the Friedkins are expected in the next few days, perhaps even in the next few hours, to close the circle on the choice of the coach who will lead Roma next season. Contacts between Allegri and the Roma management have apparently already taken place, and the simultaneous presence in the city of two central figures such as the Texan president and the former Juventus coach inevitably fuels the suspicion that something is cooking.

Ranieri discusses his future as Roma's senior advisor
Ranieri discusses his future as Roma's senior advisor Roma manager Claudio Ranieri spoke to Il Messaggero ahead of the Derby della Capitale. Among other topics, the veteran technician touched upon his future as the capital club's senior consultant as well as the preparations leading up to the derby. Advertisement 'Shomurodov and Dovbyk together? They work well and are very compatible because Eldor is a second striker, he is not selfish, he is generous by nature. Sometimes I ask him to shoot at goal more often.' 'The problem is that if I put them both in from the start, then if I have to change the gameplan I am out of options. You have to evaluate everything and it is not said that they cannot play together.' 'The team when I arrived? I'll be honest, after a week I thought I would be able to fix it. I knew it inside me but I didn't think about it. The team gives me everything. I immediately got the right feeling about this group.' 'My future? I will be senior advisor to the club. I know that I will be a point of reference for the club, I will advise what is right and what is not, but then the owners will decide. I think it is like that for everyone.' Advertisement 'The fans must stay calm, I'm not running away. But I also won't be anyone's lightning rod.' 'If I don't decide and I don't feel important, I don't act as a lightning rod, I leave. Today I feel at the center of the project. The moment I feel on the side of this, goodbye and thank you.' 'It is not the label or the wording that will make me stay here or not but whether I will be a person listened to or not listened to. The rest, whether I am an executive, a consultant, does not interest me much. I am interested instead in understanding whether when I say that something must be done for the good of Rome, I will be listened.' 'The coach is not chosen by me, it doesn't work like that. If I made a list of names, with strengths and weaknesses, it's also up to the Friedkins to decide.' Advertisement 'The new coach? Ghisolfi and I followed the English model. We started with 7-8 names and got to 3-4.' 'We have handed the list over to the Friedkins. We are very close to making a decision. I am convinced a good coach will be appointed soon.' 'The boys asked me to stay but I replied 'no, thank you.' 'ten Hag? I don't know him. Never met him. I read that I had dinner with him. Never seen him. Believe me, please.' 'Pellegrini's future? He is one of the strongest midfielders in Italy, I have no doubts and no one can deny it. Starting again with him next year? It depends on Lorenzo. I respect him.'
