In a surprise turn of events, Franco Baldini could return for a third spell at Roma if Walter Sabatini walks away.
The club hierarchy is in a state of flux, as director of sport Sabatini announced several months ago that he wanted to resign at the end of the season.
President Jim Pallotta has been trying to convince him to change his mind, but in the meantime could look to a familiar face.
According to Il Tempo newspaper, former director Baldini could return for his third spell at the Stadio Olimpico.

Baldini left originally to work with Fabio Capello at Real Madrid and then for England, returned in 2011 and went again for Tottenham Hotspur in 2013.
He resigned from the Spurs post in September 2015.
It’s reported that for the moment Baldini would be at Roma as a ‘consultant’ or outside operative based in London.
If Sabatini does go through with his threat to leave, then Baldini would be in pole position as director of sport.
