Gasperini on 'God' status at Roma: All emperors ended badly

Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has addressed the high expectations surrounding the team following their strong start in Serie A. The team currently sits at the top of the table with 13 points from five matches, but the manager is urging caution regarding premature praise.

"Am I a God in Rome? All emperors ended badly… It is better to remain realistic and give the fans reasons to be happy — that is what matters most." Gian Piero Gasperini

Beyond the current results, the 68-year-old manager emphasized the significance of infrastructure improvements. Gasperini believes that building a modern, dedicated stadium is a vital step for the club's growth and for the fans. He noted that such an arena would fill a void for supporters and represent a significant milestone for the city.

With the club’s centenary approaching in 2027, Gasperini expressed optimism about the long-term future. He believes that building upon the club's rich history is essential for progress and expects the second century of Roma's existence to be even more successful.
