Ranieri had a public dispute with coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who had previously complained about the clubâs transfer activity and the management of some injured players.
Ranieri not only said that Gasperini had approved all transfers completed by the club, but also that he was the fourth option for the job last summer, after the top three targets had turned down Romaâs offer.
As the relationship between Ranieri and Gasperini deteriorated, the Roma owners had to choose between the two to move forward.
Roma confirmed Ranieri's exit to ensure a clear direction for the club's future under new leadership.
Gian Piero Gasperini is set to take over following Ranieri's departure.
Roma's statement emphasizes full confidence in their path ahead under the new management of Gasperini.
