Roma are continuing to plan for the future, and that includes changes to the youth academy. The club is currently looking for a new academy director.
Frara now the leading candidate
After talks with Roberto Tarantino cooled off, Roma’s search seems to be down to two names. According to Tuttomercatoweb, Nicolò Frara is now ahead of Massimo Margiotta in the race for the job. Talks between Roma and Frara have picked up a lot in the last few hours.
Frara is reportedly ready to leave Frosinone and take on a new role in Rome. There is growing confidence at Trigoria that a deal could be finalized soon.
Margiotta still being considered
Even though Frara is now the favorite, Massimo Margiotta is still very much in the running. The current Hellas Verona executive is highly respected by people at Roma.
One thing working in his favor is his strong relationship with Tony D’Amico, who is also one of the top candidates to become Roma’s next sporting director.
The next few hours could be important in shaping Roma’s management structure for the future.
The Friedkins’ plan
The Friedkin owners want to build a stronger Roma not only at first-team level, but also through youth development.
Choosing the new academy director is seen as a key decision for the club’s future. The aim is to develop more young talent internally and create a stronger connection between the academy and the senior team.
Because of that, Roma are taking their time before making a final decision, which is expected in the coming days.
