Roma coach Luis Enrique has reiterated his wish to stay at the Serie A club despite a recent run of poor form.
Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Lazio in the Rome derby left Enrique’s side in sixth place in the standings, 10 points adrift of the last Champions League qualification spot.
Enrique has previously dismissed reports linking him with a return to Barcelona, where he coached the club’s reserves between 2008 and 2011.
“I will not leave,” Spaniard Enrique said.
Reports have linked Andre Villas-Boas, who was sacked by Chelsea on Sunday, with the Roma job should it become available.
Roma, who have won only one of their last five league games, visit Palermo on Saturday.
