According to multiple sources, Sabatini is the only remaining figure in the club hierarchy who wants to keep hold of Garcia.

The pressure is growing after two disappointing draws against Chievo and Milan, which at the midway stage of the season leave Roma in fifth place, seven points off leaders Napoli.

Sky Sport Italia are adamant Spalletti is the first choice to take over, leading Marcelo Bielsa and current Chile manager Jorge Sampaoli.

It would be a return to the Olimpico for the 56-year-old Coach, who was at the club from 2005 to 2009.

Spalletti took Roma to two editions of the Coppa Italia and the 2006 Italian Super Cup.

Since leaving he has won two Russian titles with Zenit and the Russian Cup.
