MILAN - AS Roma
finally sealed the appointment of new coach Luis Enrique on
Monday on a two-year contract.
The former Spain midfielder was pictured earlier this month
on the Serie A club's website wearing a Roma T-shirt but
bureaucracy held up the official announcement.
In a statement, the club said Luis Enrique would receive a
gross salary of 2.9 million euros in 2011/12 and
3.1 million euros the following season, with possible bonuses on
top.
The 41-year-old, who played for Real Madrid and Barcelona,
has previously worked as coach of Barcelona's B team.
Roma, who finished sixth last season under new Catania coach
Vincenzo Montella, are in the process of being bought by an
American consortium.
