Cassano is not impressed with the appointment of coach Claudio Ranieri after the dismissal of Ivan Juric and Daniele de Rossi already this season.
“The Friedkins don't understand that people in Rome are not stupid,” Cassano said on the Viva El Football podcast.
“In my opinion, the Friedkin family has messed up again. What did they do? When they saw that the environment was poisoned and angry with them, they thought: 'Since I don't want to bring in De Rossi, I will bring in someone who will calm everyone down.'
'With all due respect to this person, who is a true gentleman, let's be honest: he himself said it was done. He said, 'I don't want to coach anyone anymore.'
“So they bring in a guy who has decided to retire and who keeps the fans calm. What did Ranieri actually say? He said nice things in favor of the Friedkins, such as, “Don't book us out, please, let's stay united and support us, because we need you.” Then, if necessary, give us a boos at the end.”
'What is he doing in a place like Rome? He brings peace and tranquility. But Roma needs something else: a coach of a certain caliber, with international experience, a winner with whom you can make plans for the future.
“He already spoke like a club director. What is this? It's disgusting.
“Friedkins, explain to me what kind of move this is. Just to calm people down? Since I'm not stupid, I know some people will be happy because Ranieri is back, Roman pride and all…
“But it's disgusting. You bring in someone who will probably become a club director next year.”
