Gian Piero Gasperini to Become New AS Roma Head Coach
AS Roma are close to securing the services of veteran tactician Gian Piero Gasperini as their new head coach following Claudio Ranieri's retirement. According to reports from Italy, 66-year-old will sign a three-year contract with performance-based bonuses tied to Champions League qualification and Serie A title success.
During his remarkable seven-year tenure in Bergamo, Gasperini turned Atalanta into one of the most exciting sides in Italian football. He guided the team to a historic UEFA Europa League victory, reached the Coppa Italia final, and qualified for the Champions League on five occasions—an extraordinary achievement for a club of Atalanta’s stature.
AS Roma, meanwhile, fell short of Champions League qualification this season and will be competing in the UEFA Europa League in the upcoming campaign. The arrival of Gasperini marks a new chapter for the capital club as they aim to reclaim their place among Europe’s elite.
