With the missed opportunity to secure a spot in the next Champions League, Roma is now focused on the 2024-2025 season. The goal is to bring back the competition that has been missing for the Giallorossi since 2019. Securing top positions in Serie A will be the priority for President Dan Friedkin.
Last season, Roma finished sixth, which did not allow Daniele De Rossi's team to return to the top European club tournament. Despite the fifth-place bonus due to Atalanta's Europa League victory, Roma failed to qualify. The Europa League semi-final, lost in the two-legged tie against Bayer Leverkusen, was the high point of last season.
The transfer market saw Roma lose key players such as Leonardo Spinazzola, Romelu Lukaku, Diego Llorente, and Hassem Aouar. However, they retained Angelino and brought in new signings Enzo Le Fee from Rennes and goalkeeper Matthew Ryan from AZ Alkmaar. The attack will rely heavily on Paulo Dybala and Tammy Abraham.
Roma's schedule will see them debut against Cagliari on August 18 at 8:45 PM. Their first home game at the Olimpico will be on August 25, also in the evening, against Empoli. They face a big match against Juventus on the third matchday, Inter on the eighth, and the derby against Lazio on the last matchday of the first half of the season.
The second half of the season will start with Bologna and end at the Grande Torino against Vanoli's Torino. The last eight matches of the 2024-2025 season will be extremely challenging, with Juventus, Inter, Milan, Fiorentina, Atalanta, and Lazio among the opponents to be faced in succession.
