Gasperini: Roma will implement a rotation captain system, and the player with the most appearances wears the captain s armband

August 5th news Rome coach Gasperini said that the rotation captain system will be implemented in Rome, with the player who played the most games in each game as the captain.

Pellegrini has been the captain of Roma since 2021, but he has gradually lost his main position since last season. Pellegrini has been absent due to injury during this summer's training camp. When talking about the captain's candidate, Gasperini said: "This will not be a problem. We will adopt a rotation system that I have always used very well, that is, to give the captain's armband to the players who play the most for Roma."

Gasperini continued: "I have 7 or 8 captains, and I hope 15 to 20 people can be captains. The captains are those who play for the team and have a sense of belonging. This is a hierarchy based on the number of club appearances, that's all, there are no other factors to consider."

Currently, the entire Roma team is in training in England and will play two warm-up games with Villa and Everton, but Pellegrini did not come to England with the team, but stayed in Italy for the recovery process. Gasperini finally said: "He was left in Rome so he could focus on his recovery and improve his health."

Although Pellegrini came from Rome's youth training, he is not the player with the most games for Roma in the team. Salavi ranked first in 320 appearances for Roma, Christant ranked second in 318 appearances, and Pellegrini ranked third in 316 appearances. Mancini, ranked fourth (274 games), has a big gap with the top three.
