Roma have drawn up a shortlist of coaching names in the event Luciano Spalletti leaves at the end of the season.
Cagliari Coach Massimiliano Allegri is the first name on the list closely followed by Siena's Marco Giampaolo.
The latter two are the more interesting, though, as they are Claudio Ranieri and Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Ranieri, who was born in the Testaccio quarter of Rome, has never hidden his desire to train the Giallorossi and could well be available this summer.
