Former Roma coach Luciano Spalletti is ready to return to management.

Sky Italia says Spalletti has been taking English language lessons as he is linked with the Newcastle United job.

He's now willing to enter talks with Inter Milan about ending his contract - which runs to 2021 - early.

“The economic aspect doesn't matter, I coach because I like to do it," Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.

“And now I want to get back on the bench."
