Ryan Friedkin is in Trigoria, and Gian Piero Gasperini has a full agenda for his meeting with Roma's vice president. The topics range from selecting the next sporting director to replace Frederic Massara, to transfer strategies, organizing the summer training camp, and even restructuring the coaching and medical staff.

One key point of discussion is the preseason training camp. Gasperini, known for his meticulous preparation, insists on taking the team to the mountains instead of England. This approach was a staple during his successful tenure at Atalanta, where mountain training camps helped build team cohesion and physical conditioning. Trigoria is currently considering locations in Switzerland and Austria, but time is of the essence to finalize plans.

The coaching staff is also set for a major shakeup. Gasperini prefers working with a smaller, more focused team, and he plans to cut ties with several staff members inherited from Claudio Ranieri. Sergio Spalla and Claudio Spignoli are reportedly first on the list to be dismissed, as Gasperini looks to build a staff that aligns with his methods.

The medical department won't be spared either. Stefano Petrucci, currently in charge and a trusted figure from Ranieri's era, is expected to be replaced. Gasperini wants to distance himself from Petrucci and bring in Riccardo Del Vescovo, a former Roma doctor who spent years at Atalanta and worked closely with Gasperini. Del Vescovo's return could signal a new era of medical and performance standards at the club.

With the revolution set to begin, the focus is now on moving quickly to implement these changes before the new season kicks off. For fans and the team alike, this signals a fresh start under Gasperini's leadership.
