Ranieri is not rumored to be in the top list for Roma new coach.
According on how fast rumors are going, it can be announced soon today or tommorow.
In the time Juventus got another ACL injuriy in the defence, not looking good for them.
Maybe they will go for ramos as free agent? lol

Napoli last 2 matches are considered very detrimental to losing because they lost 3 points from Atalanta and shared points with Inter making the points difference in the standings thin. If you look at the current status there are 4 clubs that have collected 25 points namely Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter, and Lazio so that Napoli can be pulled from the top of the standings at any time if they lose 3 more points. Have Napoli's players run out of gas to step on the gas? Lukaku, who was made the main striker, did not score a goal in his last 2 matches.
With the way things are going, Gasperini literally built a team from ground up to make them win the league if that happens. I am pretty sure that the yare going to end up with a lot more money with this way, and he knows how to get players that fits his system perfectly. It took him nearly a decade to make this work, but he got better and better and better. Management is aware of how great gasperini is and how lucky they are to keep him, actually the weirder part is how no other bigger team poached him yet.
For example United was looking for a manager, gasperini would have been perfect for them. In the end, Atalanta is looking like they have a chance to win this whole thing and I believe we are going to see this change long term. I bet that we are going to see greater returns, but that is not going to be easy, we need to make sure that we are dealing with a greater return whenever we can, and that's the most important part, profit and results come together.

Lukaku has actually always proven that he is a very great player in the attack line at Italian clubs. He is always able to give the best for the team that brings him. At Inter Milan and at Roma he has succeeded in bringing positive changes to the team on the front lines. But unfortunately Inter Milan and Roma did not make him a permanent player in their team. Especially Roma last season were more interested in bringing in another striker who apparently has not contributed optimally to date. But Lukaku at Napoli has now proven that he is still a reliable player. And thanks to Conte he can also play more optimally. It's just that in the last few matches it seems that Lukaku hasn't scored another goal. But I'm sure in the next matches he will score again. And I think Roma now regrets not bringing him in permanently after borrowing this player for one season last season.
Lukaku is indeed a player who really understands the game in Serie A. So he always adapts easily to any team in Serie A. we know Lukaku had 3 seasons with 3 different Serie A clubs. 2022-23 at Inter Milan, 2023-24 at AS Roma and now in 2024-25 at Napoli. And in all his previous clubs in Serie A we have really never been disappointed with Lukaku. And even at Napoli he was able to adapt quickly. Maybe because this team has a coach who really understands Lukaku because they have worked together before. And it could be said that Lukaku and Conte already understand each other. So the combination of the two brings good results.But there is one interesting fact that I think is quite unique. Namely, Lukaku is always unable to contribute well enough when he plays with his own national team. Maybe this is just my opinion but from what I have noticed it is like that.
in the end Lukaku, the good Romero, was understood and used well by Antonio Conte
as i was saying, this boy doesn't deserve the treatment he received and Roma could have committed to keeping him, and they lost him
It's no coincidence that Roma really have problems in attack in my opinion
In any case,i am happy for Napoli
How can a well build attacker like Lukaku is unable to measure the top measures with the current situation at AS Roma? He parted ways with the club because his terms were not reached by the club's board and this have become one of the best decision made by the Belgium international, he had a move to join an elite side in Seria A. He grabbed such opportunity with boldness and he's now positioned to be one of the best players. Romelu Lukaku was recruited by Conte because he's promising attacker and capable of handling the top ranking board when it comes to high goal scorer. Antonio Conte did a great job by securing an essential spot for Napoli this season, we know they've been in some upside down momentum but in all, Napoli will thrive for promising season ahead. as i was saying, this boy doesn't deserve the treatment he received and Roma could have committed to keeping him, and they lost him

Seria A is challenging league, the best comes with full epic performance. Juventus are gradually dropping out of the race to win the Scudetto this season. Their performance is not encouraging to beat the available slim odds to win the title, watching them struggle is weigh out of balance this season. Thiago Motta not doing a good job at the Allianz stadium because seeing the actual fact of Juventus having 6W 6D 0L this season doesn't motivate anybody, not even the fans. The Old lady's have some competitive oppositions to face in the coming days, they have nothing but to prepare their mind for the purpose to face them.
I have to tell you with a little regret that yes and this season is particularly competitive.
i am making a lot of wrong bets because the matches are really uncertain
In fact, i am evaluating and thinking about betting more in other eassier championships, such as La Liga
currently it's really difficult to understand who wins or not
If you assume Juventus are out of the running for the Scudetto, you'd be wrong. Are you not paying attention to the current points tally? Although Juventus are currently in sixth place but in reality Juventus and Napoli only have a two-point gap. Thus, Juventus are still in the race for the Scudetto this season, don't just fixate on their position in the standings but try to pay attention to their points acquisition too, because the reality is that they still have a very close points gap.
Also, Juventus is still the only team in Serie A so far that is unbeaten and also, Juventus is still the only team that has conceded the fewest goals so far in Serie A. Thus, Juventus are still doing well although I am also disappointed Juventus are not at the top of the table, but it doesn't matter because Juventus still have a very big chance to return to the top of the table, the season is still long.
The Napoli squad seems to have lost its sharpness in their last 2 matches. Because in the last two matches, Napoli was only able to score 1 goal, namely against Inter Milan. Overall, Napoli's performance is still quite good. It's just that they have difficulty scoring goals. And their defense also seems to be weakening. Napoli cannot afford to lose again if they want to maintain first position in Serie A. Because the teams currently ranked 2 to 5 all only have a difference of 1 point with Napoli who are at the top. So next week we won't know which team will ultimately fill first place. Is it still Napoli or one of the top 5 at the moment.
Napoli playing cool. there regular performance is still good but others strong teams also playing great. Inter Milan and also three more teams are in same point 25 and Napoli collect 26 point only 1 point deference from there. so napoli are not passing relax time they are in huge pressure because if once they loss any single upcoming match then Inter will take this advantage and take place on the 1st position on point table. so Napoli have to take focus on every upcoming match.Serie A this season is much more interesting than the following seasons. It's just that this excitement also makes it more difficult for us to predict the results of each match. Because even a strong team can lose points to an ordinary team. Everything becomes more unpredictable.

What you are pointing at regarding Lukaku in an important thing to be considered because a point is not enough for them to sit on the top of the table, among the top fivein the table Napoli are the only one with a less goals, this alone show that they can't hold that place for a long time if they don't have a very strong striker that can give them more goals, I like Lukaku but I think he is not in the right position to lead the team, he's old and they shouldn't depend on him to do all the work, losing against atalanta with almost 3 goals was a total disgrace because it clear that even their defence line are also having issues not only the strikers and if this can't be fix then the will lose the top.

This season Fiorentina has changed, they have won seven of their twelve league games, drew four, and lost just one. Fiorentina, who are now in third place in the league, the same point as Atalanta and one point behind Napoli, has already secured their place in the Champions League. Although we don't know what will happen before the season ends. I'm sure Fiorentina will finish in the top four and earn a spot in the next Champions League if they can continue to win their games.
I congratulate and appreciate Fiorentina's hard work in 12 Serie A matches this season so that they can perch in an ideal position or maybe become the leader of the standings or vice versa will drop again, who knows the end of the season is still far away, no one can guess the future. For now, let's just enjoy this tight competition. This also applies to Napoli, the leader of the standings or other strong candidate teams that currently have the same points in the top 5 circle.So Raffaele Palladino as Fiorentina coach has no trouble setting a strategy to maintain his position because Palladino only thinks about how to continue to maintain the performance of the attack line which currently needs to be monitored. The reason Palladino is not too worried about the defense line is because De Gea as a goalkeeper can be relied on.
Fiorentina currently does not need to worry and if they want to survive to get the best position, they just need to maintain the stability of their performance.

It seems like the Napoli players have run out of energy at this point. When Napoli was 10 games undefeated, I thought they were ready to take over the league this season. However, after losing their last two games to Atalanta, they are now one point ahead of Atalanta. On the other hand, Lukaku has only scored 5 goals for Napoli in all competitions this season, 4 were in Seria A and the other 1 in Coppa Italian. Since Lukaku is unable to contribute in any of their games as a striker; I don't think that this team will win the league title this season, because of their inconsistent striker.

Fiorentina is now winning, can they really fight for a spot in the Champions' League fight?

I am not sure about Erik Ten Hag that he is able to coach AS Roma well and improve AS Roma's performance so that they can compete at the top. Ten Hag once failed to bring success when coaching in the Eradivisie with Ajax, and moved to the English league with Manchester United. This shows that as a coach, Ten Hag is unable to adapt to a different league. Meanwhile, Serie A is a new place for Ten Hag, because he has never had experience coaching a club in Serie A. So in my opinion, Ten Hag is not the right coach for AS Roma.
And if I may recommend, with his wealth of experience coaching in Serie and having won Serie A several times with the clubs he coached, Roberto Mancini should be on the radar of new coaches sought by AS Roma. Some time ago Mancini was fired from the Saudi Arabian national team, because the Saudi national team was unable to perform optimally in the Asian zone World Cup qualifiers, after the dismissal he immediately returned to Italy, and currently Mancini has not returned to coaching any club or national team. So maybe AS Roma could consider Mancini to fill the vacant coaching seat.
La Gazzetta dello Sport commented that ten Hag refused to lead Roma (he cited the chaos that was happening in the team as the reason), in fact, he was one of the possible candidates, and it is not clear how true this information is.And if I may recommend, with his wealth of experience coaching in Serie and having won Serie A several times with the clubs he coached, Roberto Mancini should be on the radar of new coaches sought by AS Roma.

As far as I understand from what is being written now, one of the most likely candidates for the post of head coach now may be Vincenzo Montella. But Montella is currently heading the Turkish national team, and his contract is valid until the summer of 2026, they are ready to let him go if Roma pays him a six-month salary. Roma now looks very weak, only a brave coach will agree to lead such a team.
I don't think Erik Ten Hag will adapt easily. When things went badly in Manchester, he didn't change the squad or the plan. Managers need to find out what the problem is after a bad game and fix it. Some managers keep making the same mistakes after seeing that the team is failing and the team continues to fail.
Every manager has to improve themselves and try to fix their mistakes after losing a game. Being a manager is not the hardest job in the world and I think it's made out to be a very big job. Big clubs give big budgets to managers but the result is failure and the managers are responsible for this success.
Montella is doing a good job at the helm of the Turkish national team and I don't think he will leave the team unless he receives a high salary before his contract ends.

I think Napoli full strength football team need to focus on their weaknesses because their last two matches performance is very bad. In second last match, they lose the match by 3-0 and that kind of lose we did not expect by Napoli team. Napoli team has lose their confidence in last matches and if they could not win next matches then they will lose their position and Atalanta will get their position because they won last 5 matches abc their players are in full form . Napoli team played last match against Inter Milan and they could not win this match and that is bad sign by Napoli team and they have to work on their weak points.
Napoli recent games have been very worrisome especially their 3-0 loss which was shocking setback. Their confidence is now shaken putting their position at risk. Atalanta five game winning streak is major threat as they could surpass Napoli if they do not improve quickly. Tie against Inter Milan adds to Napoli worries. To regain momentum Napoli must fix their weaknesses and rebuild confidence and find consistency. Their coach needs to change strategy and motivate players and turn season around. Next games are critical so let's see what will Napoli do in that matches.

We shouldn't blame Napoli because they lost these points playing against two of the best teams in Seria A. Atalanta and Inter Milan are strong contenders for the top spot. The Antonio Conte side are even lucky to get a draw because Inter Milan missed a penalty. Maybe they will recover their form and win more games. Or it could also be that their performance has started declining.Lukaku had a good game even if he had not scored in two games. He gave a clear goalscoring pass to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia but it was clear by an Inter defender. The Seria A is closely contested with four teams almost having the same points.
