Zdenek Zeman's job as Roma coach is safe for the time being, according to sporting director Walter Sabatini.

Roma's form has stuttered of late, leaving the club in eighth in Serie A, but Sabatini insists that the coach has the full backing of the board.

"We have all spoken with Zeman and we are completely satisfied," Sabatini told the club's official website. "We will fight our battles together."

Zeman has been Roma coach since the start of this season.
