Vincenzo Montella in Pole Position to Become Roma's Head Coach

The former Fiorentina boss is the favorite to take over at the Stadio Olimpico

Montella has been out of work since leaving Sevilla in December 2019

Vincenzo Montella is the favorite to become the next head coach of Roma, according to a report from Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Montella, 46, has been out of work since leaving Sevilla in December 2019. He has previously coached Fiorentina, AC Milan, and Sampdoria, among other clubs.

Roma are in need of a new coach after Paulo Fonseca was sacked following the team's failure to qualify for the Champions League. Montella is said to be the club's top target, and he is expected to sign a two-year contract.

Montella is a well-respected coach who has a good track record of success. He won the Coppa Italia with Fiorentina in 2016, and he also led AC Milan to the Supercoppa Italiana in 2016.

If Montella is appointed as Roma's head coach, he will be tasked with rebuilding the team and returning it to the Champions League. Roma have not won a major trophy since 2008, and they have not finished in the top four of Serie A since 2017.

Montella's appointment would be a sign of ambition from Roma

Montella's appointment would be a sign of ambition from Roma. He is a proven winner who knows how to get the best out of his players. He is also a good tactician who can adapt his team to play in different ways.

If Montella can replicate the success he had at Fiorentina and AC Milan, then Roma could be a force to be reckoned with next season.
