Administrator of Rome Vincenzo Montella-keeper has been tip for full-time work by senior players Francesco Totti and Simone Perrotta. Montella, 36, has mixed fortune from the replacement of Claudio Ranieri in the Giallorossi hotseat in February, with his record over the past two months reading: he won five, drew two and lost four. But despite his inconsistent start to life at the Olympic Stadium, where he spent a decade as a player before retiring in 2009, Montella has received the backing of the captain and all-time leading scorer Totti and vice captain Perrotta.
