Before announcing Daniele De Rossi's exit through a statement on the club's official website, Roma had already begun looking for a replacement.
According to news reported by Ilromanista.eu, during the last night, a representative of the Giallorossi club contacted the former Milan coach, Stefano Pioli, to offer him the position of head coach for the first team.
Stefano Pioli declined the offer due to the advanced state of negotiations, which will see the former Milan coach signing with Al-Nassr in the coming hours.
Meanwhile, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Pioli is very close to signing with Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr: "Pioli will sign the termination of the contract at AC Milan today and then private flight to Riyadh with his agents. Done deal."
