These are the words of Roma’s sporting directorFlorent Ghisolfiwho spoke to DAZN after the 2-3 defeat against Bologna at the Olimpico stadium, a match relating to the 12th matchday of the Serie A Enilive 2024/2025. The Director first wanted to thank the recently sacked coach Ivan Juric, apologizing to the fans for the moment Roma is going through and reassuring the fans that the Friedkins will continue to invest to improve the situation.
Below is the interview:
How many names on the table after Juric’s dismissal?
“We immediately wanted to issue an official statement. Now we need to take time to make good decisions. At this moment, however, we want to thank Mr. Juric for what he has done since day one here at Roma. Now calmly, we take the time to reflect in the best possible way.”
Did you see too much distance in Juric’s identity in relation to the qualities of the players?
“Ivan has a very ambitious and physically demanding type of football. But this is not the time to talk about this. As mentioned, we thank Mr. for what he did in a particularly difficult moment for Roma. We are all responsible for the moment that Roma is going through and we apologize to our fans.”
What can fans expect?
“Once again it is difficult to answer this question straight away. As for our goals, we will continue to invest to do better. We have to manage this difficult moment without talking about transition, we are Roma and we have to compete from the start.”
Was sending De Rossi away a mistake?
“I don’t think it’s the right time to talk about this. All that remains is to assume our responsibilities, myself first, together with the players and try to resolve this difficult moment.”
