Roma ultras display fascist message during Monza match
Last night's 4-0 win over Monza saw the display of a fascist message in the stands of the Curva Sud.
As reported by La Repubblica, a despicable banner was shown with the following message: 'I'll stay on this road as long as my legs can hold me. It's with this heart and this face that I've grown up.'
These are verses from the song Er Cammerata by the band Innato senso di allergia, an nationalist group linked to the far right, which in 2007 released the album Quando c'era lui.
Roma could be fined as a result of the ultras' behavior in an otherwise positive outing for Claudio Ranieri and his men.

Rino Gattuso nearing Italy manager role
The Italian national team is looking for a new manager after the rejection handed by Claudio Ranieri and now, Rino Gattuso is a key candidate to land the role. Corriere dello Sport have reported that the idea of Gattuso becoming the next Italy manager is now taking off and contacts are in progress. Advertisement A meeting has taken place in a secret location and lasted many hours. FIGC has not confirmed the details but there is a broad agreement that the ex-midfielder is the favourite to take over the role. A move is said to be edging closer and more developments can emerge in the next 2 days. This comes after Sky Italia claimed that Gattuso is the favourite to become the next Azzurri and they also confirmed that talks have taken place about the move. Stefano Pioli and Daniele de Rossi have also been linked with the vacant role in the last few days. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

Ranieri rejects offer to coach Italy on a quest to get back to the World Cup
ROME (AP) — Claudio Ranieri did not even want to try where Roberto Mancini and Gian Piero Ventura failed — to take four-time champion Italy back to the World Cup. One of the most beloved coaches in Italian soccer, Ranieri said on Tuesday he declined to lead Italy's already troubled bid to qualify for its first World Cup since 2014. 'I thank President (Gabriele) Gravina for the opportunity,' Ranieri told Italian agency ANSA on Tuesday about the offer to coach the Azzurri from the national soccer federation leader. The job is vacant just five days after Italy began its qualifying campaign with a woeful 3-0 loss at group leader Norway. Luciano Spalletti paid for that defeat with his job but was allowed to stay on for a 2-0 win late Monday over minnow Moldova. The 73-year-old Ranieri seemed available after more impressive work coaching Roma — reviving the club since being hired midseason — by taking a front-office advisory role for Texas-based owners the Friedkin family. 'The Friedkins gave me their full support and support for any decision I made about the national team, but the decision is only mine,' Ranieri told ANSA. Ranieri's farewell from Roma fans was an emotional salute for a second straight season, having previously restored the fortunes of Cagliari, who he then guided to stay in Serie A. Describing the Italy offer as 'a great honor,' Ranieri said on Tuesday he 'reflected and decided to remain at Roma's disposal' with total commitment. Ranieri's four-decade career in coaching includes just four games as a national coach. His spell at Greece in 2014 lasted just a few months and was a rare failure. His next job lifted his reputation even higher: Taking Leicester to an astonishing English Premier League title in 2016 with a team widely predicted to struggle against relegation. By the time Ranieri was fired by Leicester in 2017, Italy had begun a 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign under Ventura that would end in a playoffs elimination by Sweden. Italy had earlier been runner-up to Spain in a qualifying group. Back-to-back failures to qualify were sealed in March 2022, coached by Mancini. Then-European champion Italy had been group runner-up behind Switzerland then was stunningly beaten at home by North Macedonia in a playoffs semifinal. Italy has less than three months to find a coach before hosting Estonia on Sept. 5 in five-team Group I. Norway has won four straight games, with Erling Haaland scoring in each. Italy is nine points behind in third place two games extra to play. Israel is currently second. Italy hosts Norway in the final round on Nov. 16. Only the group winner advances direct to the 2026 tournament co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The runner-up enters playoff brackets next March.
