Former England general manager Franco Baldini thinks that Fabio Capello is uninterested in coaching in Italy right now.
The 65-year-old coach is currently without a job after stepping down as coach of the Three Lions last week following the Football Association's decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy.
A move to Inter has been mooted as a strong possibility, as Claudio Ranieri has come under extreme pressure at San Siro of late, but Baldini expects Capello to continue abroad.
"I do not believe that a return to Italy is in his plans, I would be very surprised if that happened," Baldini told Mediaset.
Russian Premier League outfit Anzhi Makhachkala are believed to be in pole position to secure Capello's services after Yuri Krasnozhan left the club on Monday.
Meanwhile, Baldini rued Roma's display in the 1-0 defeat at Siena on Monday, a result which denied them the possibility to leapfrop Inter in the Serie A standings.
"We saw one side who wanted the victory and one who did not want it that much," he said.
"We did not play the game we usually play, I think it was one of our worst performances this season.
"Roma missed more than the result tonight. The coach and the players must question themselves."
