Impact for AS Roma

Angeliño adds depth to a defence already led by Gianluca Commesso and Leonardo Spinazzola. Coach José Mourinho has indicated plans to use the new signing’s versatility, especially against teams that press high. A full‑back with international experience could boost the squad’s transition game, encouraging quick play down the flanks.

What are the next steps?

The defender will join mid‑week training sessions, aiming to debut in the upcoming Coppa Italia match against Napoli. The challenge will be to see how he fits into Mourinho’s system and whether he can earn a starting spot. Roma supporters are eager for his first chapter in the capital, hoping for a season filled with achievements.
