Tony D'Amico to Become AS Roma Director, Priorities Dybala and
Short overview
Tony D'Amico is set to become AS Roma's new director as previously agreed. His immediate priorities are securing contract extensions for Paulo Dybala and Gianluca Mancini.
Tony D'Amico will take over as the new director of AS Roma, a move that was agreed upon weeks ago, according to sources. The appointment is expected to accelerate the club's efforts on two key priorities: securing new contracts for Paulo Dybala and Gianluca Mancini.
New Director Appointment
D'Amico's arrival has been anticipated for some time, with the agreement reportedly finalized weeks prior. The club has not yet made an official announcement, but the deal is understood to be in place. D'Amico is expected to bring a strategic approach to the role, focusing on player retention and squad development.
Contract Extensions for Key Players
One of D'Amico's first tasks will be to negotiate new deals for Argentine forward Paulo Dybala and Italian defender Gianluca Mancini. Both players are considered crucial to Roma's long-term plans. Dybala, who joined the club in 2022, has been a standout performer, while Mancini has been a mainstay in defense since his arrival in 2019.
The club is keen to secure their futures amid interest from other European sides. Dybala's current contract runs until 2025, while Mancini's deal expires in 2026. Extensions would provide stability and reinforce Roma's ambitions under manager Daniele De Rossi.
Implications for Roma's Season
With D'Amico at the helm, Roma aims to build on recent successes and challenge for top honors in Serie A and European competitions. The director's experience in player management and recruitment is expected to be instrumental in shaping the squad for the upcoming seasons.
