Have you ever played “Guess Who?”, the famous game by which, thanks to a series of clues you had to guess the name of the mystery character. Only direct questions were allowed, the one to answer “Yes or No” in short, and of course the winner was the one who first managed to identify the character.
Well, in a sort of 2.0 version, that’s kind of what Roma fans are doing these days with the name of the next coach. A real puzzle that the Rubik’s cube in comparison is to be given to kindergarten children. The team is engaged in the race for the Champions League, in just over an hour it will take the field against Lecce, but the fans in the meantime are also focused on the future.
The current season teaches us this: without technical guidance that is up to the task, little progress can be made. From De Rossi to Juric to Ranieri, Roma has changed its face from fighting not to relegate to the Champions League. In short, the helmsman is at least as important as the crew, and to avoid jeopardizing another season in the face of massive investments, it is good to start off on the right foot right away.

And so while fans anxiously await, there is also management sifting through candidates and profiles, studying options and evaluating possibilities. Claudio Ranieri, on the other hand, from the pew of the one who knows most about it, sows clues and unsettles everyone. “It may be that at first the name is not appreciated,” the coach exclaimed in a press conference on the eve of the match against Lecce.

What could the head coach have meant? A sentence that does not exactly leave the best of “vibes” for the fans, especially given the names that have been circulating in recent weeks. Ranieri himself has first and foremost ruled out Gasperini, one of the hottest names regarding Roma’s bench, considering how the coach would be ready to break free from Atalanta at the end of the season.
Gasp is certainly appreciated coach but it will be other fans who will enjoy him. It is almost impossible to get to Antonio Conte — linked to Napoli and in any case courted by Juve and Milan — the Ancelotti option, contended by Real Madrid and Brazil, also seems difficult, while the Mancini track, though valid, does not meet with approval.
Roma, pista Pioli: perché può arrivare davvero
Yes, but then who can arrive in Trigoria? While Davide Nicola may be a viable option, certainly at the moment there seems to be another track, the one that leads to Stefano Pioli. Yeah, the former AC Milan coach and currently at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team.
Bound by a contract until 2027 at 15 million euros net a year, he has a clause in his deal that allows him to be released in June. And he could also exercise it to return to Serie A, partly because it seems relations with Cristiano Ronaldo are no longer idyllic.

His Al Nassr, moreover, is 10 points behind the league leader while in the AFC Champions League at the end of April he will be engaged in the quarterfinals against the Japanese Yokohama Marines. That is why it is not at all unthinkable to imagine his farewell at the end of the season to land in Trigoria.
Besides, his sketch is fully in line with Claudio Ranieri’s thoughts without forgetting the long friendship that binds the two, since the days when the Parmesan played for Fiorentina coached by Ranieri himself. Yeah, but why should he be disliked? Pioli would pay – at least at first – for his past at Lazio.
