Report: Vincenzo Montella in pole position to become Roma’s head coach

Former Roma striker Vincenzo Montella is reportedly close to a return to the Italian capital.

After a brief managerial spell in 2011, Montella could once again take hold of coaching duties at Roma in the wake of Ivan Juric’s dismissal.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport journalist Roberto Maida, Montella is now the favorite to become Roma’s new head coach.

The Friedkins are determined to secure Montella’s services.

The Italian technician is open to the move and could be freed from the Turkish national team through a release clause in his contract.
