Gasperini Prioritizes Roma Following Ranieri’s Departure
Football Gazzetta Express – April 24, 2026 – Following the resignation of Claudio Ranieri from his role as a high council member at Roma, coach Gian Piero Gasperini has stated that the club’s ambitions take precedence. Ranieri officially departed on Friday after a public disagreement with Gasperini. Roma confirmed Ranieri’s resignation on Friday, citing a period of instability within the club’s leadership.
The departure follows a contentious two-week period, beginning with an interview given by Ranieri prior to a match. In the interview, Ranieri publicly criticized the situation, asserting that Gasperini was not among the three primary candidates considered for the coaching position during the summer of 2025. Ranieri also responded to Gasperini’s comments regarding reported approaches to the club and concerns about the Roma medical department.
This exchange significantly escalated tensions between the two figures. Gasperini’s statement underscores the club’s immediate focus on achieving its goals. “Roma comes before everything,” he reportedly said.
The fallout from this situation continues to be a developing story within the Roman football landscape.
