Ranieri thanks owners, players and fans, but not Gasperini following Roma departure
Claudio Ranieri has released a brief statement thanking the Roma staff and supporters following the confirmation of his departure from his role as senior advisor to the club on Friday.
Ranieri has his say after Roma exit: ‘A unilateral decision’
Ranieri has officially left his position as Roma’s senior advisor following a public falling-out with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini over the last few weeks. Ranieri recently gave a particularly critical interview and claimed that Gasperini was not in the club’s top three candidates to come in as head coach at the end of last season.
This led to an irreparable rift between the coach and advisor, and with the two reportedly no longer speaking to each other at the club’s training ground, the situation quickly became untenable.
Ultimately, the club have decided to side with the coach rather than their advisor on this occasion.
Ranieri has since released a short statement to Italy’s leading news agency ANSA, explaining that his departure was a ‘unilateral decision’.
