Roma manager Luciano Spalletti has endorsed current director of sport Walter Sabatini, and claims he is confident that he will stay. 

Sabatini had announced his decision to leave Roma at the end of the season after a 1-1 home draw with Inter in the spring. 

“Sabatini knows what he has to do, he's not the kind who lets people sway him," Spalletti told media, "To me he's always looked like he has the best intentions for Roma, and therefore I'm convinced that he'll stay, because when you do something with passion and effort as he does, it's the sign that he cares about it, and heart is what helps you succeed.”
