"I’m staying in Russia".  Luciano Spalletti swears allegiance to Zenit St Petersburg. The former Italian Roma coach said to Sky Sports: "They have treated me very well from the beginning, then we have also won the championship. Inter? They have never called. The skill and professionalism of Benitez is in no doubt, you can only learn from a great coach like him".

Roma: "The team was already strong, this year they have even improved with the strikers and I am sure they will be back on top. From a technical point of view they are the Italian team closest to Barcelona, a group working with the ball on the ground like that of Guardiola".
