After six years, Roma is once again attempting to bring Gian Piero Gasperini to Trigoria. The Italian coach is under contract with Atalanta until June 2026, but it seems that his relationship with the Percassi family has reached its final chapter, and the two sides are set to part ways amicably after a nine-year partnership. Claudio Ranieri, Roma’s current head coach, will move into a director’s role in June. His first task was to find his successor, and the only coach he has contacted so far is Gasperini.

Roma is without a coach for next season, Gasperini’s time at Atalanta is coming to an end, and the only obstacle in Roma’s path is Juventus. Gasperini’s lifelong dream is to return to Juve and finish his career at the club where he began his coaching journey.Who knows what kind of player would Dybala be without injuries…Gasperini is reportedly high on Juventus’ shortlist for next season, and he is likely to hesitate in giving Roma an answer for as long as possible while waiting for an offer from Juve.
