In mid-February, Roma played to a 1-1 draw with Porto in Portugal during the Europa League playoff round, but the repercussions of this match are still being dealt with.
Details: Roma's head coach Claudio Ranieri was fined 20,000 euros following his criticism of referee Tobias Stieler and UEFA's refereeing supervisor Roberto Rosetti after the match against Porto. UEFA also fined Roma 11,000 euros for the team's inappropriate behavior.
In that match, Stieler showed two yellow cards to Bryan Cristante, a decision that infuriated Ranieri. He suggested that the referee was biased against the home team, stating "he was waiting for something to happen to hand them the victory." The criticism then extended to Rosetti, questioning the decision to appoint Stieler for the match.
Reminder: It was previously reported that Roma wants to invite Ajax's head coach Francesco Farioli this summer.
