Roma manager Rudi Garcia has confirmed he is in a relationship with Francesca Brienza - a presenter on the club's in-house television channel.

Garcia, 50, was pictured having dinner with the 28-year-old Brienza at a restaurant in Rome earlier this week, with gossip magazines getting in a spin.

The Frenchman, who led the club to second in Serie A last season, took to Twitter to explain himself, posting a picture of the pair at the Colosseum.

Garcia has previously been married and has three children while Ms Brienza is a former Miss Italia contestant.
