De Rossi: ‘Fantastic’ Ranieri job at Roma

De Rossi spoke to reporters, including Football Italia, in the mixed zone of the Stadio Franchi for Pepito Day, Giuseppe Rossi’s farewell match.

“It’s a great opportunity to meet up and say goodbye to Pepito. Rossi was an incredible player and a wonderful and fantastic person,” De Rossi said.

“We joked that today there are great coaches and great players, but I’m the only one who both played with him and coached him since I had him in my squad for a short time at SPAL. It’s a pleasure to be here.”

When asked his thoughts on Ranieri’s job at Roma, De Rossi replied with just one word: “Fantastic.”
