Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has expressed interest in potentially taking over as Roma’s head coach, but is not rushing to make a decision about his future. Meanwhile, Roma has reportedly prepared a three-year contract offer for the Italian tactician.

Gasperini recently addressed the speculation, stating, “Who wouldn’t want to coach Roma? It’s an exceptional club with passionate supporters. I’m flattered by the link, but my focus remains on Atalanta and our immediate goals.”

The 67-year-old coach emphasized the importance of living in the present, noting that he has experienced similar situations during his nine-year tenure at Atalanta. He described his time with the club as an “extraordinary chapter” in his career.

According to Italian media reports, Roma’s owners, the Friedkins, are ready to offer Gasperini a three-year contract. The club has allegedly already made initial inquiries about his availability to replace current manager Claudio Ranieri.

Sources suggest that Gasperini is seeking a role at an ambitious club that would allow him time to make a significant impact, similar to what he achieved at Atalanta. His current contract with Atalanta expires in June 2026, but he has indicated he may leave earlier and will not extend his stay.

As the situation develops, both Gasperini and Roma appear to be keeping their options open. The coming weeks and months will likely provide more clarity on the potential move and Gasperini’s future in Italian football.
