Florent Ghisolfi didn’t reply to a question about Roma’s next coach but confirmed that Claudio Ranieri would remain at the club as a sports advisor.’
Roma host Milan at the Stadio Olimpico in their final home game of the season.
The Giallorossi are still fighting for a top-four finish while Ranieri and Mats Hummels will make their final appearance in the capital.
“Let’s talk about this evening first. Claudio is a great coach and man,” Ghisolfi told DAZN.
“It’s an important evening—the last at the Olimpico—so the best way we can say goodbye is to play a great game. He wants to see a team that gives its all until the end.”

Ghisolfi also confirmed Ranieri’s new role from the summer, but didn’t reveal who will replace him on the Roma dugout.
“He’ll be a sports advisor; we’ll have time to discuss our organisation,” said the club sporting director.
“Other things are at stake tonight, and we want to focus on the game and the coach. It’s an important moment.”
Ghisolfi also confirmed Roma want to keep hold of Alexis Saelemaekers, who is on loan from Milan.
“We’ve always said we want to keep Saelemaekers because he’s an important player on and off the pitch. He has a good connection with the club and our fans.”
