New Roma boss Luciano Spalletti has outlined his plans for the side and hopes Antonio Cassano can play a part in them.
"I am honoured by this appointment and the negotiations took a decisive twist after I was able to free myself from Udinese," he said after penning a two-year contract worth £1.4m per season.
There have been strong reports that his arrival will be followed by that of Friuli star David Pizarro, although the £10m price-tag could push them towards the more affordable Guti of Real Madrid.
"We haven't discussed the transfer strategy yet and will look over the situation over the next few days. We want to keep all Roma's great players and that includes Antonio Cassano."
It is an important statement, as the ex-Bari prodigy is expected to leave in the summer for an £11m switch to Juventus.
His contract expires in 2006 and renegotiations are not going well, so a lot depends on how Cassano forges a rapport with the new Coach.
He has made no secret of his desire to work with Fabio Capello again and even this statement of faith may not be enough to hold him to the Olimpico.
"I am very satisfied to hand the Roma squad over to Spalletti," announced Roma President Franco Sensi.
"I know that the team is in good hands. I am convinced that after a difficult year we will start afresh and quickly return to challenging for honours with a side that has the quality to do so."
The Giallorossi have been through four Coaches since Capello joined Juve in May 2004 – Cesare Prandelli, Rudi Voller, Luigi Del Neri and Bruno Conti – and that uncertainty saw them battle against relegation and lose the Coppa Italia Final to Inter.
"Spalletti has proved how committed he is to taking charge of Roma and this represents great determination and character in my eyes," continued Sensi.
"We thank Bruno Conti for the sacrifices he has made over the last few months. I'm convinced that from this moment on Roma will be back where they belong."
