New Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini has set Champions League qualification as his primary target after taking charge of the Serie A club.
Softfootball reports that the experienced coach wants Roma to return to Europe’s elite competition and believes securing a top-four finish should be the team’s major objective.
Gasperini arrives at Roma after an impressive spell with Atalanta, where he developed a highly competitive side and helped the club establish itself among Italy’s leading teams. His appointment represents an important step in Roma’s plans to challenge more consistently near the top of Serie A.
The club will expect the new manager to improve results while establishing a clear tactical identity. Champions League qualification would provide significant sporting and financial benefits. It would also strengthen Roma’s ability to attract high-quality players and compete for major honors.
Gasperini’s demanding style is likely to require commitment from the squad. Players will need to adapt quickly to his tactical principles and physical expectations.
The coach will also have to manage the pressure that comes with leading a club with a large and demanding fan base. Roma will begin preparations for the new campaign with European qualification firmly in mind.
