Ranieri and Gasperini to hold face-to-face confrontation | OneFootball

The relationship between Ranieri and Gasperini has never blossomed.

After the kind words during the coach’s presentation on June 17th (“I’ll be a friend on the sidelines who will try to help him”), the Giallorossi coach would have expected greater support from Sir Claudio.

They will certainly meet again today at Trigoria when training resumes, and there are many issues to discuss.

Ranieri doesn’t understand Gasperini’s overly forceful dialogue, constantly complaining about everything: from the transfer market to the medical staff, from management to physiotherapists. One of the topics of today’s meeting will be the recovery of injured players.

It’s now well known that Gasperini doesn’t trust the work of the medical staff, headed by a man close to Ranieri, Dr. Bernardino Petrucci. On the other hand, the staff believes that some players returned to the field too early, resulting in further physical problems. This will be one of today’s key focuses, given the ongoing concerns about the conditions of Mancini, Koné, and Wesley.

These are three starters Gasperini wants to have available against Atalanta. For different reasons, however, there are still some doubts about all of them.

Later, if there’s the will, other topics will also be discussed: from the transfer market to internal balance. Dan Friedkin could also weigh in on these issues, perhaps via video call.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport writes, it’s important to note that Ranieri’s words on Friday reflect the feelings of the owners. The Texans would like a different approach to interacting with the various members of the club.
