The Giallorossi are looking for a new Coach next season and lifelong Roma fan Carlo Mazzone has refused to rule out a return.

“Would I go back to Roma? Never say never,” he told Calcio2000 magazine. “I have a strong rapport with the Sensi family and the whole city. I still don’t know what I’ll do when I ‘grow up’.”

The 68-year-old tactician has already taken charge of his hometown club between 1993 and ’96, twice earning a fifth-placed finish.

Roma will need a new Coach at the end of this season, as Bruno Conti has already confirmed he has no intention of staying on past this brief stop-gap position.

Meanwhile, Mazzone can look forward to the Derby della Capitale and support his beloved club from afar.

“When I was in charge, we won 3-0 in 1994-95. For a week beforehand the newspapers all said Lazio had better players, except for the Aldair-Chamot comparison. I was the country bumpkin, while Zdenek Zeman was a scientist of football. It was one of the few times I went under the Curva to celebrate with the fans, as we were drunk with joy.”

Mazzone also started Francesco Totti’s Serie A career as a sixteen-year-old, though the captain will miss this derby due to a five-match ban for punching Siena’s Francesco Colonnese.

“Totti is a strong Roman through and through, so when he loses then it hits him five times harder than any of his teammates,” added the Coach. “Perhaps he feels too much responsibility, as I think that when Roma lose he is ashamed to walk around the city.”

If Roma hired Mazzone so can we count that Totti stay in Roma next season...
