Italian outfit Roma have declared that they are happy to have current boss Rudi Garcia in charge, even though they are unwilling to rush contract extension talks.
Being appointed last year, the Frenchman has a contract with the club that runs to the end of next season.

The Giallorossi have been in good form recently, having won their last four league matches, and are currently placed second in the league with 70 points from 30 games.
Their current form has also meant that Garcia's men have opened up a six-point gap in second spot, even though they trail league leaders Juventus by 11 points.

"Garcia has one year left in his contract and hence, we have all the time to discuss his renewal", general director Mauro Baldissoni told his club's official site.
"We want to reciprocally extend our rapport. There is time to renew his contract."
Roma still have seven matches to play and Baldissoni feels that the team have enough firepower to win all those and stake their claim for the title.
"I'm optimistic that Roma can win their remaining games.
"With regards to Juve's advantage in the standings, we can only hope", Baldissoni added.
