Roma’s coaching conundrum

well Allegry said he considers getting a year of if Milan wont announce him name as their manager

Mancini: 'I'd take Roma job'
By Football Italia staff

Roberto Mancini has admitted he’d be “ready” to take the Roma job despite his past at Lazio. “I don’t rule anything out.”

Manchester City fans today bought a full page ad in La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper to salute the sacked manager.

He is now available and reports have emerged he’s on the shortlist for the Roma bench, as difficulties continue with first choice Massimiliano Allegri at Milan.

“Would I accept the Roma post? I am a professional and I’m ready to work anywhere,” Mancini told Sky Sport Italia.

“I don’t rule anything out. Will I return to Italy? I don’t know, it’s too early to say.”

Roma fans would not be happy with Mancio’s arrival, as he was with their arch rivals Lazio as a player from 1997-00 and then a Coach from 2002-04.

Other alternatives for the Giallorossi include Laurent Blanc, Marcelo Bielsa and Roberto Martinez, who this afternoon announced he is leaving Wigan Athletic.

Mancio ....pls go...on so many levels.

At least he is Italian...but yeah, a laziale and cant do shit in europe..

After reading that about Mancini i said , No way after his episode with Tevez & Balo ,i don't think he can be a strong character that suits Roma but after ive read Donadoni assistant said that Donadoni is contacted by AS Roma to take the job , now i tend to be on Mancini's side than donadoni .

Its getting really ugly , we are on the verge of third year without any European game and atmosphere close to a pressure cooker that can easily ruin reputation of any manager and Managing for us considered a risky job for them top ones even if we had enough money for them anyways , We cant risk further more ....

Yeah I hear that. Neither Mancio nor Donadoni are it. I would still prefer Pioli or Guidolin as well as Allegri, but it looks more and more like we might just go outside of Italy for a manager again. Bielsa would whip these guys into shape, but I don't see us winning much with him either. Martinez would be a straight risk considering he's never coached in Italy before.

He was Wigan's coach. Decent manager, but presided over their relegation, which has hampered his reputation. Not what we needed.

Looks like it's still Allegri we're working towards. Milan will make their decision on his future thursday so that will go some way towards telling us where he will end up.

Even though I have heard rumours that Roma are growing impatient over the Allegri situation, I can't imagine why the club wouldn't be willing to wait just a week to get a manager who would be perfect for instilling the discipline in a squad that has been lacking for so long. I'm convinced that Allegri would take Roma closer to Champions League qualification than any other coach available. I'm still clinging on to the hope that we will retain him, simply because the issue is dragging on - I had previously lost all hope - however if he does leave and decides to take on another team, I think he would excel at Roma. One couldn't expect the free flowing football of Zeman, however Allegri is pragmatic, an overall positive manager, instils great discipline and is fantastic from an organisational point of view. He gets more out of a squad than is present simply on paper; with a team with the talent that Roma has that he has been crying out for in our transfers we will a team that pleases whilst getting results. In the dressing room he has shown himself to be capable of encouraging, disciplining and supporting both young and old, wayward and steadfast. If you get Allegri and we get Seedorf, you'll finish ahead of us next season unless we see a miracle in our transfer market.

Considering how often the "ownership" took shots at Allegri all season long I'd tell Berlusconi to take his job and shove it up his

I would love for him to end up at Roma, and just laugh at the impending implosion of Milan due to losing the one coach that had a pretty good handle on the "Balotelli" situation.

Agreed. The only thing that worries me about Allegri is that he sometimes make some crazy, stupid decisions that I cannot make any sense of. But hey, I'll take it.

Yeah seconded, Mike.

All of these other names just aren't cutting it and those aren't even the coach I think we should be linked with.

yes, those other names are pathetic.. donadoni ffs

I have two questions for you guys:

1. It seems there is a serious effort to get Allegri. But what would be his motivation! He will be in CL with Milan. While at Roma he will be pretty hard-pressed to qualify for next years CL.

2. Who would you prefer as Roma manager! Someone you can stick with.

Guidolin is great, but will stay with Udinese forever unless he was offered Sheikh money

I maintain that Guidolin would be a better fit than Allegri. He don't take no shit and knows how to tactically set up young teams, as we've seen with Udinese.

Seeing as he really doesn't seem interested though, it's still likely to be Allegri.

1. His motivation is to get the hell away from Berlusconi, that's it. He's currently not able to work calmly, as he has a president waiting for him to make a little mistake to call him out. With us, he'll be under heavy pressure from the fans, but I believe management will support him in Luis Enrique fashion.

2. Mazzarri, but that ship has sailed. Allegri is somewhere on the list after that. My two wildcards are Panucci and De Rossi, but that would be contradictory to my calls for an experienced manager.

Guidolin would officially be my pick.

As for Allegri? What Mike said about covers it though I'd like to think a project like this with such a talented young team might entice him as well. Could be shades of an Italian Klopp of sorts.

Guidolin is awesome. Should be your #1 target. He's great with youth as he's shown plenty of time with Udine.

Roma agree terms with Allegri then

http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2013/05/ac-milan-coach-agrees-roma-deal/

As expected.

I'm hearing that there's going to be another meeting next week,with Silvio included this time.

It's quite obvious Allegri is waiting to get fired so he can get a pay off.

I say *bleep* this and lets make a move for Guidolin instead..

Wouldn't hate that one bit as he's my #1 choice, but it will take some prying to get him away from Pozzo in Udine.

At this point im afraid we end up with Panucci or stramm or managers in that category . Allegry clearly prefers Ac Milan and im thinking berlesconi wants to frustrate him to pay him less

Roma have Allegri plan B
By Football Italia staff

Roma have drawn up a list of names they will approach if Massimiliano Allegri stays at Milan.

The Rossoneri Coach has been linked with a move to the capital club in recent weeks, but his future has remained uncertain following reports that a meeting between the tactician and Silvio Berlusconi has been pushed back until next week.

And according to Corriere dello Sport, if the 45-year-old does end up staying at San Siro, they will try and approach a host of other Coaches for the top job at Stadio Olimpico.

The paper believes that Athletic Bilbao's Marcelo Bielsa, Laurent Blanc, Roberto Mancini and Christian Panucci could all be interviewed for the post.

my choice would be between blanc and bielsa within those 4 , moe inclined toward Blanc as i think he can manage to bring more discipline into club . I think its safe to say that Bielsa is "Mild Zeman"

FFS, fans are already saying that we're being run by a management team of Laziali, imagine if we get Mancini.

I get the impression that Allegri would want to join us, but is willing to remain if Galliani convinces Berlusconi. It's a complicated resignation process indeed.

In the event that we don't get him, Blanc has basically called on us today, saying he would love to join us. If all else fails, I want a Roman or someone who has a Roma past. Basically, De Rossi, Panucci or Giannini.

PS- We still have Zeman under contract...
