Spalletti all set for Roma return

By Football Italia staff

There are reports Luciano Spalletti will take over from Roma Coach Rudi Garcia on December 22.

The club is said to be irritated at the poor performances and results from this season, which culminated in their Coppa Italia exit to Serie B side Spezia this week.

Director of sport Walter Sabatini’s comment today spoke volumes on the situation.

“Garcia will be the Roma Coach on Sunday.”

Now TeleRoma56 claim Spalletti has agreed terms and will take over after the final game of 2015, against Genoa on Sunday afternoon.

The December 22 date – which is Tuesday – is supposed to be significant because it is when Spalletti’s remaining contractual connections to Zenit St Petersburg expire.

He’d be free to sign an 18-month deal with the Giallorossi.

It is a return to the Olimpico for Spalletti, who was already at the club from July 2015 to August 2009.
