Roma president James Pallotta says they're finalising their coaching appointment.

Sassuolo boss Eusebio di Francesco is expected to succeed Luciano Spalletti.

"We have someone in mind and we only have to finalise things," Pallotta said on SiriusXM.

“Not terms with the manager, but the team he's currently with."

Pallotta also discussed his plans to make the Lupi one of the top 10 clubs in Europe.

“I think Roma can compete as a top 10 in Europe but we need that new stadium in order to get there.

“Next season? The difference between Juventus, and Roma and Napoli is that Juve have the depth. We just didn't have that [this season].

“Inter are going to be better. It looks like they'll have Spalletti and he's a great Coach. Napoli will be right there as well.

“Monchi? It's really exciting to see how he looks at things. It's a nice approach to watch how he wants to build the team."
