After nearly joining Napoli as their new director general, Gian Paolo Montali has signed a contract with Roma, with whom he will assume a consultancy role.

The former Juventus board member has agreed a two-year deal, detailed in a statement released by Roma on their official website.

"AS Roma announce that a consultancy agreement has been established with Gian Paolo Montali," the communiqué stated.

"He will carry out his own role with the mandate of 'coordinating and optimising the human resources of the sporting area' and will become part of the Technical Committee of the club's management, along with Daniele Prade (sporting director), Bruno Conti (technical director) and Cristina Mazzoleni (director of planning and corporate affairs).

"The consultancy agreement will be for two sporting seasons, with effect from today until June 30, 2011."

Giallorossi president Rosella Sensi has previously made it clear that Montali will not interfere with the work of Prade and Conti. His role is believed to incorporate a number of aspects of running the club, thereby becoming one of Sensi's key assistants.
