Roma’s economic effort to put a third manager on their payroll for the 2024-2025 season will see them spend the equivalent of a top coach’s wage, despite their team being just four points above the relegation zone.
The Giallorossi look set to hire Claudio Ranieri, whose deal should last until the end of the current season, although there are chances that the Italian tactician remains at the club even after his contract’s expiration as a board member.

However, it is likely the Friedkin family will try to lower Ranieri’s demands as much as possible, considering the contracts of previous managers Daniele De Rossi and Ivan Juric are still running.
The new coach’s salary will add to De Rossi’s €3.3m seasonal wage to be paid until 2027 and a further remuneration of €2m for Ivan Juric, whose deal lasts until June 2025.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, it means that the Giallorossi owners will spend more than €5m this season for their managers, in addition to Ranieri’s salary, unless De Rossi and Juric find a new club.
De Rossi’s contract was extended at the end of last season, but he was then sacked after failing to win any of his first four Serie A games in charge in the new campaign, with his successor Juric picking up Roma’s only three league victories so far from eight matches at the helm.
