Roma have not yet revealed their next head coach.
Several names have been linked with the capital club in the past few days.
As reported by Leggo, Cesc Fabregas's stock is rising sharply, but the Giallorossi club continues to monitor other profiles, with the possibility of a surprise always around the corner.

Francesco Farioli is currently one of the hottest names. The Italian coach was proposed by Ghisolfi, who has already worked with him at Nice. Farioli is considered an innovator and would have the right profile for a medium-long term project.
At the same time, however, Fabregas has impressed the management with his modern ideas and strong personality. Apparently, he would also have Ranieri's personal approval.
There is no shortage of experienced alternatives, with the names of Stefano Pioli and Vincenzo Montella who remain in Roma's orbit, ready to enter the game if the first options fade away.
Also in the background is Cristian Chivu, former Giallorossi defender and current Parma coach, who would represent a fascinating but risky choice.

But the real twist could come from the Friedkins. The American owners, expected at the Stadio Olimpico for the last home game against Milan, could surprise everyone as they did in 2021 with José Mourinho.
In fact, there is talk of a 'mister X', a very high-profile coach whose arrival could depend on qualification for the next Champions League.
Among the most sensational suggestions is Carlo Ancelotti. Although currently linked to Real Madrid and in negotiations with the Brazilian federation, the idea that he could sit on the Roma bench has not yet completely faded.
