The coach was in the Capital today and was photographed by Sportitalia speaking to veteran Roma players Lorenzo Pellegrini, Stephan El Shaarawy and more.
However, they were all there for the wedding of Atalanta striker – formerly of the Roma youth academy and therefore friends with many of these players – Gianluca Scamacca.

It is safe to assume he was able to discuss his imminent arrival as their new coach at the Trigoria training ground.

Son Heung-min to leave Tottenham this summer after decade
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min said on Saturday that he intends to leave the club this summer after a decade in north London. The 33-year-old attacker joined the Premier League side from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and went on to play more than 450 times for Spurs. In May he lifted the Europa League trophy but he had a poor season overall by his high standards and struggled with injury. "Before we start the press conference I wanted to say I have decided to leave the club this summer," the South Korean told reporters in Seoul, where Tottenham are on a pre-season tour. "Respectfully the club is helping me with this decision." Son, who has scored 173 goals for Spurs, did not say where he intends to go next and cut an emotional figure. "It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career. Such amazing memories. It was so hard to make the decision," he said, flanked by new Tottenham boss Thomas Frank. "I need a new environment to push myself. I need a little bit of change -- 10 years is a long time. I came to north London as a kid, 23 years old, such a young age. I leave this club as a grown man, a very proud man." Frank, who joined Spurs from Brentford this summer, paid tribute to the South Korean skipper. "For me, personally, I would have loved to have worked with this fantastic person and player," said the Dane, who took over from the sacked Ange Postecoglou. "He is a true Spurs legend in every aspect, one of the greatest players to play in the Premier League. "It is never easy to find the perfect timing and me coming in from the side, it makes it a bit easier to end on a high." bur-pst/tym

Haaland Hints at MLS Move Inspired by Messi and Beckham
Man City star open to future US switch but stays committed to Premier League ambitions Norwegian striker Erling Haaland's sparked widespread debate after expressing openness to future move to Major League Soccer MLS citing inspiration from Lionel Messi & David Beckham. "No one knows what the future holds" In recent interview with TIME Magazine, Haaland was asked whether he could envision himself in MLS one day. His response: "No one knows what the future holds. What Messi's doing now is incredible and what Beckham did before him ... it's amazing" Despite the comments, the 25 year old Man City star emphasized that he's fully focused on his current club highlighting unfinished business in the PL & Champions league. Since joining Man City Haaland's scored 124 goal in 146 appearances including 85 Premier League goals in just 3 season. He's played major role in City's domestic and European success establishing himself as one of the most dominant strikers in the club's history. Although Haaland insists "now isn't the time for big change" his openness to potential move fuels speculation that MLS could be his post peak destination.
