Ranieri's departure from Roma confirmed as Gasperini prevails

Claudio Ranieri’s tenure as senior advisor at AS Roma has come to an end after weeks of escalating tension with coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The relationship between the two had deteriorated to the point where Gasperini made it clear he no longer wished to work alongside the former Roma manager, leaving the club with an unavoidable choice. In the confrontation between the pair, Gasperini prevailed, earning the full backing of the Friedkin ownership despite their respect for Ranieri’s contribution.

Roma announced the separation in an official statement, thanking Ranieri for guiding the team through a difficult period and emphasising that the club’s long‑term vision remains unchanged. The statement reaffirmed confidence in Gasperini’s leadership and the shared ambition to grow, improve and achieve results worthy of Roma’s history. With the rift now definitive, Ranieri’s latest chapter with the Giallorossi closes, while Gasperini continues with strengthened authority.
