Walter Sabatini is under increasing pressure at AS Roma.
The sports director is being blamed for Roma's collapse this season as the likes of Victor Ibarbo and Seydou Doumbia have struggled for form and fitness.
Calciomercato.com says should Roma fail to finish in the top four, Sabatini is likely to move on.
Roma will seek to promote from within, with Frederic Massara and Pasquale Sensibile under discussion.
Sabatini stated last month he was prepared to leave if he felt Roma no longer wanted him.
