New Roma chief executive Umberto Gandini urges fans to return to Stadio Olimpico.
Giallorossi supporters have been boycotting games in protest at new segregation in the Curva Sud, with barriers dividing the Ultras’ section into two parts.
Having been officially confirmed as a new director, Gandini urged supporters to return to the stadium.
“That's not only an aim of mine but the club as a whole,” Gandini said.

Giallorossi supporters have been boycotting games in protest at new segregation in the Curva Sud, with barriers dividing the Ultras’ section into two parts.
Having been officially confirmed as a new director, Gandini urged supporters to return to the stadium.
“That's not only an aim of mine but the club as a whole,” Gandini said.
“Everyone can see that the situation is precarious and the terrific entertainment the team are providing – and I hope they continue to – is being enjoyed by relatively small numbers.
“There is background to all this that I've been learning about over the last few weeks and I'm looking at the situation with my colleagues.
“We'll try to continue what the club has done so far – they've been anything but inactive on this matter.
“Decisions have been made in the interests of health and safety and the situation is developing. I believe Roma supporters have conducted themselves impeccably and the authorities need to reconsider their decisions.
“I've been pleased to discover – and in some ways I'm very envious – of how much the Roma fans get behind their team on the road.
“It was wonderful to see the Giallorossi end of the ground celebrate the three goals at Sassuolo, which thankfully were also scored in that goal.
“I hope all this continues but quite honestly I think it's crucial to bring the fans back to our home matches.”
