Even after a humiliating 7-1 defeat against Fiorentina, Il Tempo reports that Di Francesco remains in place, even if the Giallorossi were to lose against Milan. Pallotta has delegated every decision to Monchi, who will be the first to be questioned if the situation should worsen. At end of the season, there will be an inevitable budget taken, but at the moment, nobody is in the balance: even Di Francesco. Roma prefer to wait until June to change bosses as they would be able to draw from a wider array of candidates, which could include Sarri.
