Balzaretti returns to Roma: the role and the wait for the appointment of the new CEO

Federico Balzaretti returns to Roma. No longer in the role of full-back obviously, but in the role of Loan Manager to expand the Giallorossi scouting department. A revolution, the one wanted by the Friedkins, which therefore will not only concern the squad. Balzaretti, in the Giallorossi as a footballer between 2012 and 2015, will be responsible for following and managing the players on loan but will also be active in the search for young talents. The official announcement will arrive shortly, but in fact the former full-back is already active for the club.

His latest experiences as a manager were as sporting director with Vicenza and as head of the technical area with Udinese. In Friuli he took the place of Pierpaolo Marino before the resolution arrived last June. In recent months he has been a commentator for some Dazn broadcasts. But Balzaretti has already held the role of Loan Manager at Roma from 13 August 2015 to 30 June 2019, during the Pallotta presidency, also being appreciated by Ranieri who took over from Di Francesco. And it will be operational from January 1st. The former full-back lives in the capital (Torrino area) together with his wife Eleonora Abbagnato, who has directed the dance troupe of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma since 2015, and with the two daughters that Federico had in his first marriage to Jessica Gasperin: Lucrezia di 18 years old and Ginevra 15. His will not be the only “acquisition” in the management area. The new CEO will be appointed shortly (Marzio Perrelli is in pole position) and further reinforcement in the technical area cannot be ruled out.
