Serie A, Roma: Di Francesco sacked

Eusebio Di Francesco is reportedly considering his resignation after Roma’s Champions League exit to Porto. “He’ll decide what he wants to do”, had noted Diego Perotti.

The coach has not spoken to the media after 3-1 defeat, 4-3 on aggregate, in extra time at the Estadio do Dragão.

He walked to the team bus and sat on it alone, thinking, while players held post-match interviews with Sky Sport Italia and other media.

As he is contractually obliged to give interviews after a Champions League game, it means he will be fined.

The comments from Perotti seem to back rumours Di Francesco had already been considering his resignation.

But in late afternoon, Roma's club officially informed to have sacked coach and former Fulham's Claudio Ranieri was appointed as replacement.

The Giallorossi were furious that VAR was not consulted on a potential last-minute trip on Patrick Schick.
