"I had the pleasure and honour of sharing a 35-year professional and personal relationship with him. Galeone didn't consider himself a coach, but a football teacher. Thanks to his teachings, I was able to make them my own and do what I'm doing as a coach. When I heard the news, it was a sad day for me. I'm close to his wife and send him a big hug."
"Roma absolutely deserved the lead in the first 35 minutes: we made a lot of technical mistakes, they put us under a lot of pressure, and they became boring. Once we broke the deadlock, we adjusted our defensive posture and had several clear chances. In the final 25 minutes, we struggled little, apart from the free-kick and the penalty. It's an important victory. Now we need to recover to prepare well for Saturday."
Mike Maignan was heavily linked with an early-summer move to Chelsea but stayed after clubs failed to agree a fee. The goalkeeper is in the final year of his contract with no renewal near agreement, making these months possibly his last at the club. He produced a notable penalty save in the recent match. Allegri paid tribute to Galeone, recalling a 35-year professional and personal relationship and calling him a football teacher. Allegri assessed the Roma match, admitting early mistakes, praising defensive adjustments and the significance of the victory, and credited Claudio Filippi and the club for convincing Maignan to remain.
