Roma’s record year: Ranieri and Gasperini reshape Giallorossi | OneFootball

2025 is shaping up to be a watershed year for Roma. A continuous growth journey, first guided by the expert hand of Claudio Ranieri and then by the methodical vision of Gian Piero Gasperini, has brought the Giallorossi back among the top-performing teams in Italian football.

Roma, the Year of Records: Ranieri and Gasperini Redefine the Giallorossi Identity

This process began months ago, when the club decided to entrust the squad to a coach capable of bringing unity back to the environment. Ranieri was able to restore order and confidence, delivering a second half of the season with 46 points, averaging 2.42 points per game—numbers that already hinted at a turning point.

Ranieri’s Legacy and the Gasperini Shift: Continuity Born from Ideas

When it came time to choose a new coach, the club decided to continue along the same path. Gasperini, who had no previous experience in Rome, inherited from the Testaccio-born coach a group that had been renewed both mentally and in terms of discipline.

The club sought a profile capable of bringing rigor, tactical intelligence, and a competitive mentality. Gasperini responded with his footballing manifesto, built on sacrifice, compactness, and constant improvement.

A philosophy that found fertile ground at Trigoria.

As an internal source explained: “Gasperini has brought a clear methodology. Every training session is aimed at growth, not just management.”

Extraordinary Numbers: 73 Points in 31 Matches

The data unequivocally certifies the growth.

In the calendar year 2025 alone, Roma has collected:

73 points in 31 matches

An average of 2.35 points per game

That’s championship-level performance. Projecting this pace over a full 38-game season, the Giallorossi would finish with 90 points—a total sufficient to win three of the last five Serie A titles.

Not Just Results: A Cultural Change

Numbers don’t win trophies, but they tell the story of a profound transformation. Roma has returned to showing consistency, conviction, and internal unity. Last season’s journey, which ended just shy of the Champions League, and the start of the current campaign confirm a club that has rediscovered its direction and ambitions.

The constant presence of Ranieri and sporting director Massara alongside the team has solidified a cohesive environment, careful not to waste energy and focused on a single goal: to bring Roma back permanently to the top spots in the standings.

As they point out at Trigoria: “The group has started to believe in its own abilities again. The difference is visible in game management, in the details, in the mental approach.”

A Credible and Ambitious Roma

2025 has marked a clear step forward. The team is fighting for a Champions League spot, but above all has regained the identity that had been missing for years.

The fans now perceive a present club and a project with solid foundations, capable of reigniting enthusiasm in an environment that demands competitiveness and respect for its own history.
