‘Edin is not the captain right now’ – Dzeko stripped of Roma armband after Fonseca fall-out

 

The striker has been left out of the squad for his side’s two most recent Serie A matches after a row with his manager
Roma general manager Tiago Pinto has confirmed that Edin Dzeko is no longer the club’s captain following the striker’s row with head coach Paulo Fonseca.

Dzeko clashed with Fonseca following Roma’s Coppa Italia defeat to Spezia on January 19.

The Bosnian striker reportedly confronted Fonseca over the club’s decision to dismiss team manager Gianluca Gomber, which led to Dzeko being left out of the squad for Roma’s two most recent Serie A matches.
