The future of Claudio Ranieri at Roma appears uncertain, with a scenario that, while dramatic, cannot be dismissed.
The ongoing silence from the Friedkin family at Trigoria, following a tense video call with coach Gian Piero Gasperini and sporting director Frederic Massara, is stoking speculation about a potential departure.

Ranieri may decide to leave Roma without a second thought if the Friedkins determine he is no longer a key part of their vision.
If he does exit, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Massara, who has fully supported Ranieri, might also choose to leave alongside him.
In the midst of these rumors, various intriguing scenarios are surfacing, including the potential appointment of Giovanni Malagò as president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and the current Roma Senior Advisor stepping in as technical director.
If this comes to fruition, with Gasperini remaining in charge of the team, Roma could consider bringing in Francesco Totti as a distinguished advisor, fully in sync with the coach.

As for the transfer market, two names are leading the charge to assume the role of operational expert: former Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli and Sean Sogliano, the current sporting director of Verona, who has previously collaborated with Gasperini, notably at Genoa.
