Coach Rudi Garcia on Thursday said
he was happy to stay at AS Roma, while demanding the club bring
in mayor reinforcements for next season, when his men will be
challenging in the Champions League as well as in Serie A.
There has been media speculation that big international
clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, may try to lure Garcia
away in the close season after his impressive debut campaign at
Roma.
The former Lille boss has transformed a talented side
dispirited by several disappointing campaigns into scudetto
contenders since arriving last year.
The three-time Italian champions are on course to notch up
their highest ever points tally in Serie A and yet look likely
still to come second, as leaders Juventus have had an even more
remarkable season.
"I'm not laying down conditions," Garcia told a press
conference ahead of Friday's Serie A match at home against AC
Milan.
"I'm ambitious and I think Roma are too. Next year will be
even harder for us because we'll be playing every three days
from the start of the season until December and let's hope in
spring too.
"It's just a question of good sense that the club agree
with 100%. They want the same thing as me - to be competitive".
If Roma fail to beat Milan Friday, Juve will have the
chance to wrap up the title with three games to spare by beating
relegation-threatened Sassuolo away on Monday.
