Roma have appointed former Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini as their new manager on a three-year contract.
Gasperini, who guided Atalanta to third in Italy’s Serie A and qualification for the Champions League this season, replaces Claudio Ranieri.
The ex-Leicester City and Chelsea boss stepped down as manager after leading Roma to fifth in Serie A and a Europa League spot.
Ranieri came out of retirement last November to take over as Roma boss following the sacking of Ivan Juric, and the 73-year-old has now taken on an executive role at the club.
Gasperini, 67, spent nine years in charge of Atalanta and won the Europa League with them in 2023-24 when they beat Bayer Leverkusen in the final.
“Gasperini’s career is defined by its creative tactics, dedication to hard work, and exceptional player development,” Roma said.
“Both ownership and Claudio Ranieri believe Gasperini is the right man for the mission.”
