AS Roma appoints 32‑year‑old Mattia Scala as Primavera coach

AS Roma announced that 32‑year‑old Mattia Scala will take charge of the club’s Primavera (under‑20) side, becoming the youngest coach in the team’s history. The appointment follows a broader restructuring at the club, with former player‑turned‑manager Massimo Margiotta backing Scala’s promotion and veteran Gaetano D’Agostino joining as his assistant. The new coach is expected to integrate the youth squad with the senior side during the upcoming summer training camp at Trigoria, where the first team will also prepare for preseason fixtures and the UEFA Youth League. The move reflects Roma’s focus on developing home‑grown talent and a longer‑term plan that includes creating an Under‑23 side in the near future.
