Roma chief Tiago Pinto insists he's never spoken to Max Allegri.

Pinto insisted he never met Allegri as Paulo Fonseca is 'doing a great job' at the Olimpico.

The former Juventus coach was spotted outside Tiago Pinto's hotel in Milan in January.

“I deny rumours about meetings [with other coaches], it's all lies. We are happy with Fonseca and his work and my relationship with him is excellent. He is not distracted by these rumours and he is only focused on the next game," Pinto claimed.

Pinto was also asked about the Dzeko-Sanchez swap deal with Inter Milan.

“Everything Marotta said is true. I met Ausilio and we spoke about a few things, but we were never in advanced talks.

“I believe a club's size depends on the size of its fans. We are a great club also because of our fans who I admire. All the decisions that we will take are for the club's good."
