Chaos Rome, Fonseca in the viewer. Here’s who can get on the bench

Scenes from football apocalypse. The video, which went viral, of Lorenzo Pellegrini, who tells the Gombar team manager: “But it’s the sixth change. Are you sure (what can be done ed)? While Fonseca seems paralyzed by his side, he tells more than a thousand words about the state of confusion in which Rome is drowning. This is not a black January like last year – a month in which all ambitions were discarded well in advance – but humiliation. And from what little has been learned about the Friedkin family, if defeat, in a very American spirit, can be accepted, ridicule clearly cannot. Obviously, hardly anyone is interested in the position of Gombar, who had already risked the Diawara case in September (which cost him the defeat at the table), because at these levels of professionalism it is not conceivable that even a coaching staff would know the perfection the regulations of the country where he trains. What is now in the crosshairs of the critics is Fonseca himself, a lost coach.

–

The nightly summit took place at the Olimpico until just after one o’clock in the morning (with the players already out) between Dan and Ryan Friedkin and the new general manager Tiago Pinto (the CEO Fienga was not present because he was engaged in meetings of Lega ) for now would have given birth to the idea of ​​confirming Fonseca until Saturday’s game against Spezia, which has now turned into a nightmare. The managers expect such strong proof that they will be able to calm the yellow and red waters, allowing them to reach the end of the season with as little damage as possible. The exemption is discouraged mainly by an economic issue, given that Rome has a balance with 204 million in losses and 395 million in debt. Putting two technicians on the payroll at this point would not be desirable but, given a possible fall on Saturday, the feeling is that Fonseca’s fate is sealed. The substitutes? At the moment Massimiliano Allegri would be on pole, but he should face a reality that GM Tiago Pinto made explicit just a few days ago: Roma’s plans are medium-long term. So, in the summer market, there is room especially for young people, especially if they don’t go to the Champions League. Could such a future-oriented project suit one of the most popular trainers in Europe? Different speech for Maurizio Sarri. The latter might be the right man to rebuild by teaching soccer, but he is not a team coach in progress, but a daily catechism, beginning the summer retreat. So it would be a great bid for the season finale. Finally, it is useless to hide it, there is the suggestion that is being developed in part of the fans, that of the third landing of Luciano Spalletti in Trigoria. The strengths and weaknesses of the coach are well known, it will be Friedkin’s turn to report to make a difficult decision. Finally, one last variable: what does the mysterious object Tiago Pinto think? Have a few aces up your sleeve to play on the technical driving front as well? And, if so, would they be immediately ready for a football as difficult as Italian? One thing is certain: despite the clause that the automatic renewal would be valid in the event of qualification for the Champions League, for now Fonseca’s position for the future seems compromised. The lack of leadership, the little capacity to influence the career and the technical staff not of an excellent level, seem to condemn him, although he does not only pay for his own faults. This morning, however, a new summit will take place between the parties in Trigoria and everything, at this point, may be possible. Stay tuned.
