Roma coach Luciano Spalletti admits Walter Sabatini is considering his options.

The sports director has been linked with Bologna and Chelsea in recent weeks.

"I've read some things and I'm aware of it. Walter told me that it is a hypothesis and rightly he has to take his responsibilities," said Spalletti.

"It is challenging as Roma is in the situation it is.

"His answer is that if things do not improve it is not right he is saved: the results must improve."
