Since then, Roma has become one of the most prominent clubs in Italian football.
Stadio Olimpico

The stadium, which was inaugurated in 1937, has a capacity of over 70,000 spectators and is shared with the city’s other major football club, Lazio. The Stadio Olimpico has hosted several major international events, including the final of the 1990 Football World Cup.
Legendary Coaches and Players
Roma has had several prominent coaches and players over the years. Among the most notable coaches are Nils Liedholm and Fabio Capello. Liedholm, a former Swedish footballer, led the club to its second Serie A title in 1983. Capello, on the other hand, led Roma to its third Serie A title in 2001.
Some of the most notable players include Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi, and Gabriel Batistuta. Totti, who played for Roma from 1992 to 2017, is the club’s most prominent player and its all-time top scorer. De Rossi, another product of Roma’s youth academy, played for the club for over 15 years and is the player with the second most appearances for the club. Batistuta, an Argentine striker, played for Roma between 2000 and 2003 and was a key player in the club’s Serie A title in 2001.
