The Frenchman's team have fallen to fifth place in Serie A and exited Italy's main cup competition at the hands of second-tier opponents on penalties on Wednesday afternoon
Pressure is growing on Rudi Garcia after Roma crashed out of the Coppa Italia at the hands of Serie B side Spezia on Wednesday.
Garcia had been hoping Roma would be able to end their six-game winless streak but Spezia kept their cool in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw, prevailing 4-2 to pile even more misery on the 51-year-old.
Neither side managed to find the net during a dour 120 minutes, with Miralem Pjanic and Edin Dzeko subsequently missing from 12 yards to seal Roma's fate.
Victory sees Spezia progress to the last eight for only the third time in history, where they will face third-tier outfit Alessandria, who overcame top-division opposition in Genoa on Tuesday.
