Sky Sport Italia correspondent Angelo Mangiante says he texted Roberto Mancini, who ‘didn’t say no’ when asked whether he would replace Ivan Juric at Roma.

Juric is expected to be sacked by Roma after losing his fifth match from 12 on Sunday.

The Giallorossi crisis intensified with a home 3-2 loss against Bologna, and the Croatian tactician is expected to be sacked in the coming hours.

Several sources in Italy have claimed that Roma already contacted ex-Italy coach Mancini, and Sky correspondent Angelo Mangiante confirms that the former Italian striker is a concrete option for the Giallorossi’s bench.

Mangiante said live on TV on Sunday that he had texted Mancini and that the 59-year-old “didn’t say no” when asked whether he would accept an offer from Roma.

The Italian journalist added that the Giallorossi also sounded out some foreign coaches through the Los Angeles-based company Retexo Intelligence.

Roma lost four of the last five league games and sit 12th in the table with just 13 points.

  1. Those who recommended that the Dallinga goal be disallowed need to have their officiating licences revoked.

  2. Loyalty in any walk of life bar family is a myth, fella. No one talks about loyalty when coaches get the chop. Funny how it only goes one way.
