Lille confirmed their manager Rudi Garcia is in talks with Roma over replacing Andrea Andreazzoli in charge of the Italian side.

Speculation as to Andreazzoli’s replacement at Roma has kept everyone guessing for some time, but it now looks Rudi Garcia is set to be new manager at the Stadio Olimpico. Lille director of sport Frederic Paquet revealed Garcia has been in talks with Roma management over a possible move and the French side agreed to part ways with their manager.

Paquet said: “We are aware Garcia is negotiating with another side. The coach informed us about the talks with this club and we want things will go positively for everyone. We are ready to let him go.

“Affair closed in next 48 hours ? I don’t know. What is sure is that everyone wants it to go positively. Everything will be clearer when we will talk with Rudi.”
