Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma: why this track may be the right one for both the coach and the club
Gasperini alla Roma: perché potrebbe essere la scelta giusta – SerieAnews
Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma: a hypothesis that is finding more and more confirmation in recent weeks. The option would be truly sensational but far from impossible for it to happen. Claudio Ranieri, at the end of the season, will say goodbye to Roma at least in the role of coach and become a sort of super consultant, with a say and above all powers.
The “Normal One” par excellence got the Roma machine, which was definitely flooded in the first part of the season, back on track: the team was in the lower reaches of the standings, almost in the relegation zone, a truly dangerous bogeyman. Instead, Ranieri has revived the Giallorossi team and climbed all the way up the standings, coming to fight all the way to a qualification for Europe.
At the end of the season, however, it will also be goodbye because Ranieri had already decided to retire from his role as coach, returning to the bench to help “his” Roma. And the club, therefore, will be called upon to look for another coach.
Gasperini, all’Atalanta risultati irripetibili
Ranieri, for his replacement, has thought precisely of Gian Piero Gasperini. A name that the Testaccino coach esteems highly enough to expose himself personally to the Giallorossi management, pointing to him as his possible successor. For his part, Gasperini seems to have now put a definitive point with Atalanta.

Last season, with the Europa League victory, it reached its peak and in this one it is back in contention for the title. Unimaginable goals for La Dea until a few years ago, points that can hardly be replicated or even surpassed. He has built a model that works like a Swiss watch, focusing on young people raised in the nursery and bought abroad, and has become appreciated all over the world.
His willingness not to renew-post-elimination externalization against Club Brugge-could also be synonymous with wanting a change of scenery, to measure himself in a more important square (not that Atalanta is not). To also take revenge after what happened with Inter.
Gasperini alla Roma: dal 3-5-2 ai giovani, cosa c’è da sapere
Why can the marriage between Roma and Gasperini work well? In Trigoria Gasp would find a piazza hungry for soccer and victories, determined to relaunch itself in a big way. Not to mention the warmth of the fans, real fuel in the Roma engine. The Friedkins have already shown a willingness to invest – a multimillion-dollar buying campaign in the summer – and could give the coach a team built in his image.

The potential, fundamentally, is already there: from Pisilli in the midfield to Soulé for the three-quarter, to of course Dybala and Dovbyk, who under his guidance could return to being the crazy bomber seen in Girona. Roma, moreover, is already “calibrated” on its 3-5-2 (or 3-4-2-1) ordinance-a nice advantage considering how Gasperini has based his fortunes on this type of scheme.
Roma, on the other hand, could embrace a pragmatic, work-obsessed coach who, above all, can make the most of the Giallorossi club’s youth sector. Once the club’s flagship, it continues to churn out talent even if on a narrow gauge in recent years.
The fact remains that with Gasp, the club’s youth pool could be tapped with full force again, also allowing the club to save money in the market.
