Marcelo Bielsa turned down the job, while Sinisa Mihajlovic pledged his future to Fiorentina in a statement on the official club website on Friday evening.

There are numerous other alternatives, above all Delio Rossi and Gian Piero Gasperini, not to mention England manager Fabio Capello and ex-Turkey boss Guus Hiddink.

A new name mentioned on Sunday is former West Ham United manager Zola, who in Italy has only ever been assistant to Under-21 Coach Pierluigi Casiraghi.
