Turin, June 17 (LaPresse) – "The first contacts I had were with Claudio. He described to me in detail the reality of Roma, the team, and the club. I then had the chance to meet the ownership, and I met people who are full of enthusiasm for Roma and have ambitious projects that, up to now, have struggled to materialize," said the new AS Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini during his introductory press conference.
"We are well aware of the Financial Fair Play situation for these next two transfer windows, but the ownership is very strong and intends to invest in Roma and do it properly," he added. "Above all, they want to bring Roma to the top, and that was more than enough to give me a favorable and positive impression."
