Roma have confirmed the appointment of Tony D'Amico as their new sporting director. He will be reunited with Gian Piero Gasperini, while Paulo Dybala has signed a new contract and Tommaso Baldanzi will move to Genoa on loan with an obligation to buy.
Big day of change in Roma: veteran official Tony D'Amico has been officially appointed as the Giallorossi's new sporting director. His arrival will re-form the successful pairing with Gian Piero Gasperini—the pair that propelled Atalanta to great heights, with the crowning moment being winning the Europa League in 2024.
According to the club, D'Amico will formally take up the role starting next season. For the remainder of 2025/26, Maurizio Lombardo will be appointed as interim head of sports operations.

Paulo Dybala is getting closer to a new contract with the club, where all the details are said to have been settled. On the other hand, Tommaso Baldanzi is set to leave for Genoa on a loan with an obligation to buy—a transaction that will net Roma 9.5 million.
These successive moves aim to strengthen the leadership structure and give the team a clear direction heading into the new season, while also securing the future of key players and monetizing assets at the right time.
