Sabatini: "If Spalletti leaves Roma? It would be a huge loss"

Walter Sabatini, ex-sporting director of Roma conducted an interview at Roma 3 University, where he spoke about the forthcoming arrival of Monchi as new director: "Today for me is an inauspicious day because the new sporting director of Roma has been basically announced. A great professional, they made a great choice, and he's a fantastic individual. Roma was my life, there was not a match I didn't watch. Good luck to Monchi. It's imperative in the sporting world to be introduced in the right, your fortune is tied to the fact that you might be presented as someone who has everything planned out. Monchi was presented as a deux ex machina, while I was introduced as old and irrelevant. Granted Roma has improved press relations over that time." Sabatini also had some thoughts about the Roma of the past few years: "It was important to succeed and to have a strong team, Roma has been that for the last three or four years. It's come up against Juventus' once-in-a-lifetime run of success. If Spalletti leaves? It would be a huge loss for Roma. Spalletti doesn't ask for the top players, he earns his wins. Would he go to Juventus? It would be auspicious for the bianconeri, but I hope that he succeeds with Roma."
