Roma add Carlo Ancelotti to coaching shortlist ahead of next season | OneFootball

As confirmed by Claudio Ranieri and Florent Ghisolfi, Roma are already working behind the scenes to secure their next long-term manager.

With Ranieri set to depart his position as manager of the team and move to a senior executive role within the club at the end of the season, Roma wish to secure a long-term replacement sooner than later.

According to Angelo Mangiante of Sky Sport, in addition to Massimiliano Allegri and Vincenzo Montella – both of whom have already been linked with Roma in recent weeks – the capital club appear to have also shown interest in former player and current Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Ancelotti’s spell in Spain seems to be nearing its end and his vast experience and winning curriculum could end up making the difference in the Friedkins’ eyes.

As stated by Mangiante, Roma want to focus on an Italian manager who could excite the fans and lead the team in a new long-term project.
