Claudio Ranieri and Frederic Massara may leave AS Roma following a fallout with coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The situation is uncertain as the Friedkin ownership has remained silent, leading to speculation about their futures at the club.

Ranieri and Massara could leave Roma after Gasp fallout
Claudio Ranieri’s future at Roma could be in the balance, in a scenario that, while sensational, cannot be ruled out.
The absolute silence imposed by the Friedkins at Trigoria, following the cold video call with coach Gian Piero Gasperini and sporting director Frederic Massara, is fueling rumors of a possible departure.
Ranieri, in fact, could decide to leave Roma without hesitation if the Friedkins no longer consider him essential to the project.
Should he depart, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Massara, who has received Ranieri’s full support, could also follow the coach and pack his bags.
Meanwhile, amid the rumors circulating in the capital, some suggestive scenarios are emerging, such as a possible appointment of Giovanni Malagò as president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and the current Roma Senior Advisor as technical director.
If this scenario were to materialize, with Gasperini permanently at the helm of the team, Roma could consider Francesco Totti as a prestigious advisor, fully aligned with the coach.
Regarding the transfer market, two names appear to be in pole position to fill the role of operational expert: former Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli and Sean Sogliano, current sporting director of Verona, with whom Gasperini has shared past experiences, particularly at Genoa.
Claudio Ranieri might leave AS Roma due to uncertainty about his role in the club's future, especially after a fallout involving coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
The fallout appears to stem from a cold video call between Gasperini and the club's management, which has led to speculation about the stability of the current coaching staff.
Frederic Massara's position at AS Roma is also in jeopardy, as the silence from the Friedkin ownership raises questions about his future alongside Ranieri.
