Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has hinted he could yet stay next season.

Spalletti is off contract at the end of this season.

He said, “I have direct contact with the club, I accepted to work with what Roma have and I work with the utmost possible enthusiasm. As I said before, the final result will decide a great deal, because over the next few rounds we could change the ideas we have about each other.

“We are concentrated and want to hold out to the end, not giving in to those naysayers who claimed we would not do it. We mustn't let go an inch in the fight for this very important position."
