Claudio Ranieri weighs in on Roma’s crisis: “They lack personality.” | OneFootball

Former Roma manager Claudio Ranieri weighed in on the Giallorossi’s struggles this season.

In an interview with Radio Anch’io Sport on Rai Radio 1, Ranieri analyzed the moment of crisis the capital club are going through.

“Roma look soulless, they lack personality,” said the Italian technician.

“I didn’t understand how they behaved with De Rossi: if you confirm him and give him a three-year contract, you’re telling the whole world that we’re building a new team. At that point you give your young coach time to do his job. You can’t send him away after four days. For what? Then it means you made a mistake in planning beforehand.”

“Roma lacks a reference figure. You can’t blame the Friedkins completely, because they put so much money into it. But they’re showing that money alone isn’t enough.”

“Something is still missing in a club where a reference point is very important. Rome is a very particular place: the fans need to be pampered, helped, encouraged.”
