Massimiliano Allegri in pole position to replace Ranieri at the end of the season

Former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is being tipped as the favorite to become Roma’s new manager ahead of the 2025/26 season.

With the confirmation that Claudio Ranieri will step down as coach at the end of the season to take on a senior management role, Roma are already moving to find his successor.

According to Calciomercato.com, Massimiliano Allegri is the most popular name at Trigoria.

Ranieri, who has great respect for the former Juventus coach, could play a key role in the choice.

Allegri, currently free after leaving Juventus in the summer, is perfecting his English, fueling rumours of a possible move to the Premier League, with West Ham among the main interested parties.

However, the Giallorossi project could represent a stimulating challenge for the Tuscan coach, especially if he is supported by Ranieri who will become a senior club executive at the end of his coaching spell.
