After Spezia gaffe, Roma sack Gianluca Gombar, Team Manager, and Manolo Zubiria, Global Sporting Officer

This is the second time in less than four months that the club has committed an administrative error following September’s roster-related mistake against Verona, which led to an automatic 0-3 loss.

Matteo De Sanctis of La Stampa has reported that Roma’s Team Manager, Gianluca Gombar, and Global Sporting Officer, Manolo Zubiria, have been sacked less than 24 hours after the Giallorossi’s cup humiliation against the Ligurian side.
