Gasperini confirmed as new Roma manager
Gian Piero Gasperini has been announced as Roma's new manager, signing a three-year contract.
Roma had been looking for a new permanent coach since going through Daniele De Rossi, Ivan Juric and Claudio Ranieri in the 2024-2025 campaign, with the latter retiring at the end of the season.
Gasperini, meanwhile, left his previous club Atalanta on 31 May after a nine-year spell in charge in Bergamo.
The 67 year-old led La Dea to six top-four finishes in Serie A, while they also won the 2023-2024 Europa League, with a 3-0 victory over previously unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen in the final.
That success represented just the second major trophy in the club's history, and its first since winning the Coppa Italia in 1963. Under Gasperini, Atalanta lost three Coppa Italia finals, losing to Lazio in 2019 and Juventus in 2021 and 2024.
In total, Gasperini was in charge of 439 games with Atalanta, winning 228, drawing 102 and losing 109 for a 51.9 percent win rate. It scored 852 goals in those matches, while conceding 513.
Roma narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification in 2024-2025, finishing fifth - one point behind fourth-placed Juventus.
