Report: Roma give Rudi Garcia four matches to save his job

The Giallorossi were humbled 6-1 at Camp Nou on Tuesday evening in the Champions League, continuing a terrible European record under the Frenchman of two wins in 11 matches.

Il Messaggero has reported today that Roma will give Garcia four matches to save his job: the contests with Atalanta, Torino, BATE Borisov and Napoli.

The paper believes that should there be more failure in these matches, sporting director Walter Sabatini will also risk the sack.

La Repubblica reports that club President James Pallotta told the coach: “Enough of these ugly impressions, I want a change of course.”

The newspaper says Pallotta will attend the decisive Champions League match against BATE at the Stadio Olimpico on December 9.

Finally, Corriere dello Sport reports that there are three Coaches lined up to replace Garcia should he be fired: Fabio Capello, Luciano Spalletti and Walter Mazzarri.

The first two names have coached the Lupi before, but Corriere believes the situation would be different should the Frenchman leave in the summer, as Bayer Leverkusen’s Roger Schmidt, Italy coach Antonio Conte and Carlo Ancelotti would then become possibilities.
