Roma manager tweets confirmation of his relationship with presenter for club's in-house TV channel

Riding high after a convincing 5-1 win over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League, Roma manager Rudi Garcia used his Twitter account to declare his relationship with Roma TV presenter Francesca Brienza on Thursday. The couple were recently pictured having dinner together by a gossip magazine, so they posted matching tweets that read, "“Ah I forgot... It is my private life. Francesca[/Rudi] is part of it and not only since yesterday." The message was accompanied by a picture of them at the Colosseum.

If you look closely, you can probably see Ashley Cole lurking in the background of that Colosseum visit.

The two-time French Manager of the Year, who is 50 years old and has three kids from a previous marriage, took charge of Roma last season and led them to a second-place finish in Serie A. And the way he has them playing, the club will probably be willing to overlook any policies against inter-office relationships.
