Former Roma manager Rudi Garcia has revealed he was aware that the Giallorossi were working behind his back and holding talks with other managers during his tenure in charge at the club.
“At the end of the season season, after the derby which confirmed we’d finish second, I said what I thought about the gap to Juventus and the impossibility of winning the Scudetto,” he told Corriere dello Sport.
“At that point it was over, my card was marked. Di Francesco said the same thing two weeks ago, in France we have a proverb which states that it’s not good to be right too early.
“I don’t know who decided my fate and I don’t care. I only know that contacts with my successor Luciano Spalletti had been ongoing for some time, there wasn’t much respect for me. I was a dead man walking from the start of the season, and I got things wrong too.”
