Gasperini is Roma's top candidate for manager position

Gian Piero Gasperini is seen as the leading candidate to replace Claudio Ranieri at AS Roma. The Italian coach is expected to leave Atalanta at the end of the season. The club is unlikely to block his move. Reports suggest that Ranieri and Roma's sporting director, Florent Ghisolfi, have contacted Gasperini recently. He feels "flattered" by the interest from Roma. The club has assured him they will provide players that fit his coaching style. However, it is still early in the process. Roma is considering several other options for the coaching position. Other potential candidates include Farioli from Ajax and Vincenzo Italiano from Bologna.
