According to reports in Italy, Luciano Spalletti has turned down an offer from the Chilean Federation and won’t accept a new job before his contract with Inter expires in June.

The former Roma and Inter coach is reported to be in talks to replace Colombia bound Reinaldo Rueda, becoming the new head coach of Chile national team.

According to FcInternews, however, the Italian tactician has turned down the offer as he wants to see-off his contract with the Nerazzurri who sacked him in summer 2019 to hire Antonio Conte.

Former Roma and Inter coach Luciano Spalletti has reportedly entered talks with Chile and could replace Colombia bound Reinaldo Rueda.

Alairelibre.cl reports the federation has contacted Spalletti, who is interested in the job, but the outlet claims there are two obstacles to overcome.

A linguistic and an economic issue has been underlined, as Spalletti doesn’t speak Spanish and his salary can’t be matched by the Chilean federation.

Cesare Prandelli replaced Beppe Iachini today, but it’s reported Fiorentina are already looking to next season for Ivan Juric, Maurizio Sarri or Luciano Spalletti.

Prandelli held his press conference today and you can read his comments here.

According to La Repubblica newspaper, the veteran’s return to the Stadio Franchi is purely a stopgap measure until a more suitable long-term coach can be brought in next season.

Fiorentina are being linked with former Inter coach Luciano Spalletti, as the pressure mounts on Beppe Iachini.

Fiorentina are 12th in the top tier after four games and haven’t won since Serie A Week 1 against Torino on September 26.

The 2-2 draw with Spezia last weekend has reportedly pushed the Viola hierarchy to consider replacing Iachini at the helm.

Il Corriere dello Sport claims Spalletti, who is tied to the Nerazzurri and guaranteed €400,000 a month until June, is wanted at the Artemio Franchi.

Roma consultant Franco Baldini has reportedly drawn up a list of Paulo Fonseca’s possible successors, including former coach Luciano Spalletti.

Il Corriere dello Sport claims Baldini was spotted at Spalletti’s villa between Certaldo and Montespertoli, triggering speculation regarding a return to the Giallorossi.

President James Pallotta has reassured Fonseca about his position, claiming the Portuguese’s job is not at risk, but the Roman newspaper still claims Baldini has set up a list of contenders for the position.

Fiorentina President Rocco Commisso released a statement countering ‘fake news’ that he is in talks with Daniele De Rossi or any other coach for next season.

Sky Sport Italia claimed last night that the Viola have chosen De Rossi to take over from Beppe Iachini next term, giving the former Roma midfielder his first coaching role, while Luciano Spalletti was also mentioned for the job.

Roma President Jim Pallotta has publicly hit out at reports coach Paulo Fonseca will be fired. ‘His future is not in doubt. He has my full support.’

Rumours emerged after the 2-0 home defeat to Udinese that Fonseca was up for discussion, even with suggestions Luciano Spalletti could return for a third stint at the Stadio Olimpico.

Pallotta took the rare step this afternoon of publicly denouncing the reports in the newspapers, taking to Twitter in order to make a statement.

Luciano Spalletti has urged Roma to stick with Paulo Fonseca, who has ‘brought the discussion of attacking football back to the forefront’ in Serie A.

Fonseca is reportedly under increasing pressure after back-to-back defeats, which have left Roma 12 points outside the Champions League places.

However, Spalletti - one of his Giallorossi’s predecessors - made it clear Italian football needed more coaches like the 46-year-old to prosper.

Daniele De Rossi could begin his coaching career by taking on the Fiorentina job, claims Sky Sport Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio.

The World Cup winner has already said he plans to go into management, following in the footsteps of his father Alberto, who has been the coach of the Roma youth team for many years.

De Rossi only retired in January after experiences at Roma and Boca Juniors, and will turn 37 later this month.
