Sarri and Montella linked with Roma job in 2025-26 | OneFootball

The latest Gazzetta dello Sport report claims that Maurizio Sarri and Vincenzo Montella are among the candidates to replace Claudio Ranieri at Roma in 2025-26.

Ranieri returned to the Stadio Olimpico to replace Ivan Juric in November, but his contract runs out on June 30, and the Italian tactician doesn’t seem willing to continue at the club beyond the summer.

The 73-year-old is expected to remain at the club and will have his say in the decision for his successor.

The latest Gazzetta dello Sport report suggests that the likes of Sarri and Montella are among the candidates to take over tat the Stadio Olimpico next season.

Sarri, a former Lazio coach, has been without a club since resigning from the Biancocelesti a year ago.

Whether he would accept coaching Lazio’s city rivals remains to be seen, but according to Gazzetta, Roma owner Dan Friedkin is a long-time admirer of the 2019-20 Scudetto winner.

Montella is a former Roma coach and player and was already linked with the Giallorossi job in November.

Other candidates remain in the race, including Vincenzo Italiano, Stefano Pioli and Gian Piero Gasperini while Roberto Mancini, Massimiliano Allegri and Carlo Ancelotti are less likely to join the Giallorossi next season.
