Garcia won't be at Roma summit

By Football Italia staff

There are growing reports of a split between Roma and Rudi Garcia, as the Coach will not be at a summit to plan next season.

The tension is stepping up within the Giallorossi camp after director Walter Sabatini confirmed he “did not agree” with Garcia’s comments in a Press conference at the weekend.

Garcia claiming he could not be expected to challenge Juventus for the Scudetto because of an immense gap in economic and technical terms irked the club owners.

Tomorrow there’s set to be a summit between the directors and President James Pallotta in London to work out the strategy for next season.

Garcia had initially invited himself, but Sky Sport Italia and Radio Sportiva now claim he won’t be there at all.

News agency Adnkronos now claims director Sabatini will hold a Press conference in Rome when he returns from the summit.

Among the candidates to perhaps take over if the split should intensify are Empoli's Maurizio Sarri, ex-Inter and Napoli boss Walter Mazzarri and former Zenit Coach Luciano Spalletti.
