Gian Piero Gasperini Takes Charge of AS Roma on Three-Year Deal

Gian Piero Gasperini has officially been appointed as the new head coach of AS Roma, signing a three-year contract with the Italian capital club. His arrival follows a highly successful spell at Atalanta, where he built a reputation for dynamic tactics and player development, culminating in a Europa League title last season. Roma’s management believes Gasperini is the ideal figure to lead the team into a new chapter.
Claudio Ranieri, who led Roma to a fifth-place finish in the 2024-25 Serie A campaign, stepped down from his role but was present at Gasperini’s unveiling. His symbolic gesture of support highlighted a smooth transition and mutual respect between the two experienced coaches. The club is hopeful that Gasperini's vision can bring a long-term positive impact to the team’s identity and performance.
Before accepting Roma’s offer, Gasperini was also approached by Juventus, but ultimately chose the challenge in Rome. Known for his intense personality and straightforward demeanor, he now enters a high-pressure environment with passionate fans and relentless media scrutiny. His ability to handle the intense atmosphere around the club will be as crucial as his tactical skills on the pitch.
AS Roma has not qualified for the UEFA Champions League since 2017, despite coming close in recent years. Last season, the club ended in fifth place with 69 points, falling short of the top-four finish required for Champions League football. Gasperini’s mission will be to push Roma back into Europe’s elite competitions while building a resilient and exciting squad.
