Roma coach Fabio Capello is not ruling out joining Manchester United or Barcelona.

Capello has been linked this week with a return to Spain or as replacement for Alex Ferguson, who is retiring, at Old Trafford.

The Italian is committed to Roma until 2003 and has said he will honour that.

"To have a new experience abroad would be stimulating," said Capello, quoted in today's Gazzetta Dello Sport.

"I can't hide (the fact that) the interest of this type of club is pleasing because they represent some of the most prestigious clubs in the world.

"However, at the moment I am bound to Roma and think exclusively about Roma."

Capello's record speaks for itself. Roma currently lead Serie A, having won the championship last season, and he has also won the league title four times with AC Milan and once with Real Madrid.

Roma president Franco Sensi is keen to commit his coach to a new deal before other clubs tempt him away.
