Gasperini and Ranieri’s meeting postponed

The rift between Gian Piero Gasperini and Claudio Ranieri is evident.

Despite their presence at Trigoria, there was no contact between the coach and the senior advisor to the club, not even a formal greeting.

As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, Ranieri arrived at the training center at 12:30 and had lunch with the team to motivate them ahead of the final sprint to qualify for the Champions League.

Gasperini, however, was not present at the table; he led the training session at 2:30 PM.

Beyond the strategic disagreements, the new dispute concerns the medical staff: Gasperini wants Mancini and Wesley back on the pitch immediately against Atalanta, but the Roma and Brazilian national team doctors still believe the full-back is unavailable.

The meeting between the two sides will take place at the behest of the owners, with the Friedkins having imposed a truce at least until the end of the season.

A call between the coach and president Dan is scheduled for this evening to mediate the situation, although it is unclear whether Ranieri will participate.
