Roma! Roma! Roma!

Fire De Zerbi!
He’ll likely leave for a more high profile job after the season, but don’t see him getting fired. Injuries did the club in this year and the board didn’t back RDZ in bringing in more reinforcements in January.

Yeah, the season ended in Rome. Pretty much no chance of getting back to Europe. Haven’t seen news on Estupian’s injury too, but heard it didn’t look good. Injuries derailed the season.
I only caught a few minutes but I did see that. Complete non-contact injury. Not good.

Is it fair? Was the problem that they sold--Caicedo, was it?--and then didn't use the money well? Were his tactics bad?
It is more him wanting to leave and the two just mutually deciding not to have a prolonged cloud hanging over everything after the season. He was frustrated the team didn’t invest more after selling all those players, and the guys they did bring in flopped (Dahoud, Ansu Fati loan) - which culminated in injury crisis this year.

Manager search appears not to be the smoothest process for sure.. McKenna was supposed to be the guy, then a Potter return, now the buzz is on a 31 year old who just led a German club to promotion to Bundasliga. Would be the youngest EPL manager ever if appointed.

Hey @gmabel830, congrats on a great signing. I think Minteh is going to be nails for yinz. He didn't want to leave, and I sure didn't want to sell him (or Anderson), but PSR needs must.
I don’t know much about him, but trust or track record on finding guys. Right now the biggest question marks are if we can get Gross to stay and convince Undav to come back and not go to Germany permanently.
