Soccer Extreme : Luciano Spalletti resigned as coach of Roma this morning after for years in charge at the Stadio Olimpico.A poor start to the Serie A season saw the Giallorossi lose their two opening fixtures to Genoa and Juventus, which has seemingly prompted the former Udinese boss' resignation.
"I have made the decision out of respect for the team, the city, and the fans, at this point nothing could be done differently," he told Il Corriere dello Sport, as he departed Trigoria.
"I had an intense relationship with this city and these fans and they have given me so much."
Claudio Ranieri is expected to take up the vacant position at Roma. Meanwhile, Spalletti has been linked with a move to Russian giants Zenit St. Petersburg. (goal)
