28 May – 00:03 – ROME

And then the turn this time came really. And the yellow and red rudder returned to direct the bow right towards the initial landing, where Rome hoped to arrive for months. Except that in the first assaults Gasperini had expressed perplexities about many things, now it seems (almost) having convinced himself. If then it was so good Claudio Ranieri who made him change his mind or Gasperini himself who realized that the other cards that he hoped to be able to play (Juventus in the first place, but also Milan) have not been discovered, this is still to be understood. The fact is that after having collected the Cesc Fabregas no (Como also yesterday reiterated his firm will not to let the Spanish technician start), yesterday Rome returned to the assault of Gian Piero Gasperini. And this time he also collected the availability of the Piedmontese coach. The winning stocker still did not score, but the assault was the important ones.

The negotiation

Yesterday, therefore, Roma resumed contacts with Gasperini, with whom even in recent days there had been contacts. Moreover, between Ranieri and the Atalanta technician there has always been a direct relationship, also of friendship and esteem. And yesterday the new Senior Advisor of Roma raised the phone to check the situation, immediately after the gasp interview with the Percassi. And this time he found the road open. “Let’s talk”, the message of the Piedmontese coach. Which with Ranieri began to discuss the contract (three -year from 5 million richer bonuses) and technical guarantees. In the first step, a few months ago, Gasperini had stressed that some players were not functional to his idea of ​​football: on all Dybala, but also Pellegrini, Paredes and Dovbyk. Four pieces from ninety, on which we will also have to reflect. Even Soulé must be framed better, he brings too much ball, but on the Argentine the Gasp wants to work. Green traffic light, on the other hand, for the various Swarms, Nicchka, Koné, Angelino, Mancini, Pisilli, Cristante (who could also leave) and Celik.

In the Capitol

And yesterday Ranieri also spoke of his probable successor, after receiving the “sympathy prize” in Campegoglio, in the 52nd edition of the Capitoline Oscar. “Gasperini? I don’t want to name names, I don’t like to make them – said the Giallorossi manager -. Let’s go on, we fight and see when the president will mean the name of the new coach”. Then Ranieri also added: “The British said: ‘Rome was not built in one night’. Give us confidence, you will see that in the end we will be right. I stopped to give the new coach a project opportunity. With me there would have been no future, we might be worth starting before and giving him the opportunity to know everything about the Rome system. We have to do well, knowing that there is to work: we want to get as much as possible and you want to take time”.

Courses and appeals

Moreover, the possible arrival of Gasperini in Rome is a wedding that has been only postponed over time. Already in 2019, just after the end of Ranieri’s second experience in Giallorossi, Gasperini was very close to landing in Trigoria. Then he thought about it, renewed with Atalanta and the Giallorossi in the end virated on Fonseca. Now the right time seems to come really, despite Ranieri himself on 27 March he denied the possibility. So: “Gasperini will not be our new coach. I have heard many names, but not those with whom I really spoke”. Words that came to comment about those of Gasperini himself, who three days before – after receiving the Enzo Bearzot prize in the Coni Salone del Coni – he said: “Roma is like the national team, everyone likes. Who would not want to train it? Is a large square, with an exceptional audience”. And then it is possible that already between today or tomorrow the awaited white smoke can arrive, with the signature on the contract by the Piedmontese coach. Yesterday the Friedkin were sighted first in Pisa and then in France, likely that in these hours they return to Italy to meet the new technician live. And welcome him to Trigoria.
