Roma not aiming for Serie A title, says Gasperini

Gian Piero Gasperini said Tuesday he does not expect Roma can challenge for the Serie A title in his first season after leaving Atalanta “but you never know”.

The 67-year-old has replaced local hero Claudio Ranieri in the Roma dugout and is gunning for a first top-four finish since 2018.

“Our best result would be Champions League qualification. Right now Roma can’t win the Scudetto but you never know,” Gasperini told reporters.

“My goal is to make this team better... create a strong core group of players who can give us consistency, and form the basis into which the following season you can add more players who raise the level. That's the first thing I'm aiming for.”
