Roma in deep crisis after humiliating 5-2 defeat to Inter: fans demand immediate revolution!
The crushing defeat of Roma by 5-2 against league leaders Inter, in the classic match played at San Siro on Easter Monday, has sparked a true storm among the giallorossi fans. The setback not only sinks Gian Piero Gasperini’s team’s aspirations for Champions League qualification but also triggers a furious wave of criticism that is already calling for a total revolution in the dressing room and the club’s management.
Despite goals from Gianluca Mancini and Lorenzo Pellegrini, the Roman team was overwhelmed by goals from Lautaro Martínez (two), Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Marcus Thuram, and Nicolò Barella, in a performance that left fans in a state of shock and outrage. With only seven rounds left until the end of the 2025-26 season, Roma now finds itself in sixth place, with Juventus and Como directly threatening its position in the European competition qualification zone.
The reactions from fans on social media came swiftly and are merciless. Many directly blame coach Gasperini, who in his first season at the helm of Roma has already accumulated 11 defeats in Serie A and suffered a disastrous exit in the Europa League against Bologna. “Mourinho and De Rossi were sacked for much less. I believe it’s time to let this coach go,” wrote one fan. Another recalls the controversial departure of José Mourinho: “Do you remember when the Friedkins fired one of the greatest coaches ever? That didn’t improve anything.”
The former coach José Mourinho, who left Roma in September 2023, remains a constant point of comparison. Some fans lament the lack of an intelligent strategy: “This team is weak, we don’t have strong players, so a smart coach goes to Inter playing cautiously, exploiting counterattacks. You can’t go there trying to play on equal terms, because they will crush us. Ranieri, I miss you.” Others do not spare the players: “I hope this is the definitive end for Cristante, Mancini, Pellegrini, El Shaarawy, Çelik, and Dybala, who is always injured. They are all past it.”
The indignation is not limited to the coach’s choices or the squad. The club’s management is also at the center of the criticism. “The owners don’t want to win; they just want to balance the books and build the new stadium so they can sell the club. Until then, this team won’t go beyond this,” accuses a supporter. Another emphasizes: “You can’t expect more from a team run by an owner who knows nothing about football.”
The humiliation in San Siro is a red alert for Roma, which faces not only sporting pressure but also a growing revolt from its supporters, who demand radical changes to save the club’s future. With a tight schedule and Europe increasingly out of reach, the summer promises to be heated in Trigoria — for better or for worse.
