Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini says Italy’s football system needs broad review, with particular attention on the youth sector. Speaking on the current state of the game, Gasperini argues that reforms should extend beyond individual clubs and instead involve how football is structured and developed across the country. He specifically highlights the youth setup as an area requiring change, suggesting that existing approaches are not producing the outcomes needed for the long term.
The comments also touch on football in Rome, where Roma plays, as Gasperini reflects on the wider environment around the sport. Both outlets frame his remarks as part of a broader call for reassessment of practices and governance within Italian football. While the sources differ only in how they describe context, they agree on the central point: Gasperini believes Italy must reconsider the overall system, especially at youth level, to improve development and strengthen the foundations of the sport.
