Gian Piero Gasperini has cast a shadow over Roma’s 2-0 victory against Lecce by refusing to speak to the media after the final whistle.
According to Sky Sport, as relayed by Calciomercato, the Giallorossi coach opted for a personal media blackout due to his deep-seated dissatisfaction with the club’s current approach to the January transfer window.
Notably, despite goals from Lewis Ferguson and Artem Dovbyk securing three vital points for the capital club, Gasperini’s mood remains sour. The former Atalanta boss reportedly chose silence to avoid expressing his displeasure to reporters, as he feels the squad remains incomplete and lacks the necessary depth to compete on multiple fronts. Furthermore, this is not a sudden outburst; the manager has complained publicly about the transfer window in recent weeks, and it appears he is now reaching a boiling point.
Indeed, while the club is linked with high-profile names like Giacomo Raspadori and Joshua Zirkzee, Gasperini expected reinforcements to have arrived at Trigoria by now. As noted by Sky’s Angelo Mangiante, the tactician felt he could not answer market-related questions with the necessary serenity, preferring to step away from the cameras rather than risk a public confrontation with the hierarchy.
Consequently, the tension within the Roma camp is palpable. While the result on the pitch has propelled the team back into the Champions League spots, the friction behind the scenes suggests that the relationship between the manager and the board is being tested to its limits.
