At the end of that season was bought by Roma.
With the ''Giallorossi'' he played as a starter in the 1992–93 season, when the team lost Coppa Italia final, in which he scored an own goal against Torino in the final. With Roma he scored four goals in total. He closed his career after a brief stint at Alexandria in Serie C1.
He made a total of 166 appearances in Serie A with Ascoli, Torino and Roma, scoring 7 goals.
