Roma consider current RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann to be one of their candidates to replace Paulo Fonseca, according to La Repubblica.

The newspaper claims the Friedkin family, general manager Tiago Pinto and consultant Charles Gould are working out options should Fonseca fail to secure a Champions League spot this season.

Even reaching the Europa League quarter-finals and being the only Italian club left in Europe at this stage is not enough to keep his job safe.

The newspaper claims the Friedkin family, general manager Tiago Pinto and consultant Charles Gould are working out options should Fonseca fail to secure a Champions League spot this season.

Even reaching the Europa League quarter-finals and being the only Italian club left in Europe at this stage is not enough to keep his job safe.

La Repubblica suggest one of the potential candidates put forward for next year is Nagelsmann, who is currently fighting Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga at RB Leipzig.

Still only 33 years old, he is under contract until June 2023 and made a splash at Hoffenheim before making the step up to Leipzig in 2019.

However, they face strong competition from the likes of Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur.

Roma have just been taken over by the Friedkin family, American investors who are ready to pump money into the club.
