Roma 'consider Chelsea flop Maurizio Sarri and ex-Juventus manager Max Allegri as replacements for under-fire boss Paulo Fonseca' after crashing out of the Coppa Italia and being beaten by bitter rivals Lazio in Rome derby

Roma are reportedly looking at Maurizio Sarri and Max Allegri as potential candidates to replace current boss Paulo Fonseca.

Pressure continues to mount on Fonseca after Roma spectacularly crashed out of the Coppa Italia to Spezia on Tuesday, in a game that had six goals, two red cards in 30 seconds and a bizarre substitution violation.

The defeat by Spezia capped off a miserable few days for Roma fans, with the result coming just days after they were beaten 3-0 by bitter rivals Lazio in the Rome derby last Friday.
