Roma have reportedly indicated that they are interested in appointing Antonio Conte as the club's new boss.
Eusebio Di Francesco led the Italian side to the Champions League semi-finals last season, but the club currently sit 18 points behind leaders Juventus in the Serie A standings.
According to Italian outlet Panorama, that has resulted in Roma placing Conte on their shortlist of possible replacements for their current boss.
Conte has been out of work since leaving Chelsea in July, but the former Italy and Juve manager remains in a legal dispute with the Premier League outfit over his departure.
However, the 49-year-old is said to be prepared to wait for a switch to a bigger club, having previously been linked with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
