It’s just a matter of time before it becomes official, but Roma has identified Frederic Massara’s successor.
The Giallorossi are set to move forward with Tony D’Amico, who will serve as the sporting director and collaborate closely with Gian Piero Gasperini, now in his second season with the club.

Gasperini, hailing from Grugliasco, is known for his high expectations and aims to build a squad capable of competing in the Champions League.
A verbal agreement between Roma and D’Amico is in place, and the contracts have been prepared, but one final detail remains to finalize the arrangement.
Atalanta is currently enforcing his contract, which runs until 2027, even though they have replaced him with Giuntoli.
Roma is eager to secure a sporting director to begin preparations for the next season.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Ryan Friedkin reached out to Atalanta yesterday, resolving a misunderstanding that had caused a significant delay.
Atalanta was not pleased with the agreement between D’Amico and a competing club, so after appointing Giuntoli, they decided to maintain D’Amico’s contract.

In Bergamo, there are no concessions, which could explain the financial discussions that have emerged between Roma’s management and Atalanta concerning a potential compensation to release D’Amico. A resolution is expected within the next one to two days.
