As Roma await the announcement of a new head coach following the dismissal of Ivan Juric, tensions between the club’s supporters and ownership are escalating. The Friedkin family, who own the club, have come under fire from fans frustrated with recent performances and management decisions.
In a striking display of discontent, a banner reading “Friedkin Go Home” was unveiled outside the Hotel ‘La Posta Vecchia’ in Ladispoli, where it is rumored that Dan and Ryan Friedkin are staying. This protest reflects the growing dissatisfaction among fans, who have been vocal about their grievances in recent days.
The situation has become increasingly critical for the Friedkins as they face backlash not only for Juric’s sacking but also for the broader management of the club. Fans have expressed their anger through various means, including multiple banners displayed at matches, signaling their disapproval of the current direction of the team.
With Juric’s departure fresh in everyone’s minds, speculation about potential replacements is rampant. While Roberto Mancini remains a frontrunner for the position, his demands for a long-term contract and a salary exceeding five million euros could complicate negotiations. Other names being floated include Rudi Garcia, who could make a surprising return to the club.
The Friedkin family are under pressure to make a decisive move in appointing a new manager. They are aware that any misstep could further alienate fans and jeopardize their standing within the club.
