Luciano Spalletti is in the running for the Roma job and criticised Rudi Garcia’s man-management skills.
The former Zenit Coach confessed he is “waiting for a call” to work in Italy again, linked heavily with the positions at Napoli and his old club Roma.
“The Giallorossi have a good squad and I hope I am not disturbing Garcia’s work by saying this,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.
Luciano Spalletti is in the running for the Roma job and criticised Rudi Garcia’s man-management skills.
The former Zenit Coach confessed he is “waiting for a call” to work in Italy again, linked heavily with the positions at Napoli and his old club Roma.
“The Giallorossi have a good squad and I hope I am not disturbing Garcia’s work by saying this,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.
Garcia is under fire from his own club after comments made during a Press conference on Saturday, suggesting there was no way he could be expected to compete with Juventus.
This precipitated showdown talks in London between President James Pallotta, directors Walter Sabatini and Italo Zanzi tomorrow.
“I think that with those words Garcia wanted to make perfectly clear that with their Champions League journey Juventus received a huge economic bonus,” continued Spalletti.
“They are already investing on the market to get even stronger, so the gap does risk becoming even bigger next season.
“I was sent away from Roma because I always finished second, but I think against sides like Juve, Milan or Inter one must always try to convince the players they are capable of reaching the final result.
“You can’t pull back. It is imperative to convince the players that the result ultimately depends on them.”
Spalletti was at the helm of Roma from 2005 to 2009, playing attractive football to win two Coppa Italias and the 2007 Italian Super Cup.
He was voted Coach of the Season in 2006 and 2007.
