"Unsurprisingly, he managed to get the team going and secured a 5th-place finish in the end. However, with Ranieri making it clear that he wouldn't continue as a coach, the Giallorossi decided to go down the ambitious route by hiring Gian Piero Gasperini. After many successful years at Atalanta, the 67-year-old is now enjoying his first proper tenure at a big club (excluding the short Inter spell)."
"So far, the season has gone well for Roma with 21 points collected after nine games (seven wins and two draws). On the other hand, they haven't had the toughest run of games and apart from the win against Verona, they have always prevailed by the odd goal. We haven't exactly seen the attacking-focused and flowing football that Gasperini provided at Atalanta, let's just put it that way."
AC Milan have struggled to win recently, drawing with Pisa and Atalanta, leaving Massimiliano Allegri with work to do before facing Roma. Roma appointed Gian Piero Gasperini after Claudio Ranieri confirmed he would not continue, and Gasperini is experiencing his first sustained spell at a big club following success at Atalanta. Roma have collected 21 points from nine games, winning tight matches and not yet displaying the full attacking fluidity associated with Gasperini. Injuries to Angelino and Evan Ferguson leave Roma slightly weakened, while Matias Soule leads their Serie A scoring and assists charts.
