Di Francesco will coach against Porto, but Paulo Sousa is likely replacement if Roma are eliminated

Roma's latest defeat has shook the team, a defeat against their rivals Lazio, and on the week of their decisive knockout leg against Porto. Di Francesco is set to take the bench against the Portuguese club on Wednesday. If Roma are eliminated, the coach will almost certainly be sacked, and Paulo Sosa is the favorite to replace Di Francesco. Bordeaux are interested in Sousa too, after firing their coach last weekend. A win at Porto will keep Roma's Champions League hopes alive, and with a loss, the giallorossi will likely look to replace the man in charge of the team.
