Spalletti vows to leave if Roma don't win trophies

The Serie A club could be on the lookout for a new manager if their current coach does not win any silverware this year

Luciano Spalletti says he "will have to go home" if he is unable to lead Roma to silverware this season.

Since replacing Rudi Garcia in January 2016, Spalletti has steadied the ship at the Stadio Olimpico before returning them to the title race this season.

A 2-1 defeat at home to Napoli on Saturday, however, left the Giallorossi eight points adrift of Juventus.

The Europa League and Coppa Italia offer avenues of success this season - Roma face Lyon in the last 16 in Europe, but must overturn a 2-0 deficit to Lazio in the semi-finals domestically.
