Florent Ghisolfi discusses the Friedkin family’s commitment to Roma and their plans for improvement despite recent challenges and criticism faced by the club.
The Friedkins have received criticism as Roma struggles this season. The team is currently not in the top ten of the Serie A standings and has already changed managers three times this season.
Ghisolfi spoke with Corriere dello Sport about the situation. He emphasized that the Friedkins are not afraid of criticism and are ready to take responsibility for the club’s performance. He mentioned that they plan to improve the team in January.
He noted that the restrictions from a previous agreement are becoming less of a burden. Ghisolfi believes that the owners are aware of the need for change and improvement, which was evident during the summer.
The sporting director also discussed the impact of Roma’s loss in the Europa League final against Sevilla in 2023. He explained that if the match had been played recently, the owners would have reacted differently. They have learned that sometimes being quiet and reserved does not yield positive results.
Ghisolfi pointed out that winning that match could have changed Roma’s fortunes significantly. It could have brought the club its first Europa League title and a chance to compete in the European Super Cup. Additionally, it would have led to a return to the Champions League, which would have been financially beneficial.
He praised the Friedkins for their dedication to the club. Ghisolfi mentioned that they are very passionate about Roma and are involved in every detail. They have invested a lot of time and resources into the club, showing their commitment to its future.
The director also highlighted the plans for a new stadium, stating that it is not just an idea but a real project. The Friedkins are seeking fair treatment and attention for the club, just like any other team.
Ghisolfi has been an important figure at Roma in recent months. He will continue to play a key role as the team aims to qualify for European competitions this season.
