Guest of ‘Domenica Sportiva’, coach Claudio Ranieri commented on the latest events at Roma starting with the dismissal of Daniele De Rossi: “What surprised me is that he was given a three-year contract, it was supposed to be a long project. It’s a shame that there isn’t a football man in there who can unite the club and the coach.”
Then on the possible return of Francesco Totti he added: “It’s not me who judges. There are the Friedkins and they are the ones who must judge whether this person is needed.”
Yesterday, the Giallorossi club announced the resignation presented by Lina Souloukou: “AS Roma announces that CEO Lina Souloukou has resigned. We thank Lina for her dedication at a particularly critical time for the Club and wish her all the best in her future professional endeavors. The ownership remains fully focused on the growth and success of Roma, with constant attention to the values that make our team so special.”
