Veteran coach back at Stadio Olimpic to replace Luis Enrique

Roma have confirmed Zdenek Zeman as the club's coach for a second time on a one-year contract, with an option for a further season. Zeman previously spent two years in charge at Stadio Olimpico in the late 1990s and he returns to the Italian capital to replace Luis Enrique. The 65-year-old Czech had most recently led Pescara to promotion to Serie A in his first season at the club and he had revealed on Sunday that he could not reject the chance to return to Roma. "I'm not a child and this is my last chance," Zeman had told a press conference. "I have already worked there but unfortunately I didn't achieve what I wanted to do. "This is my last chance to do something big with an important team - a big team with big ambitions." Roma endured a disappointing campaign under Enrique, finishing seventh in the table - outside the European places.
