Love For Roma Made Me Say Yes-Conti

New Roma coach Bruno Conti has stated that he took over the team’s reigns from Luigi Delneri as an ‘act of love’ towards the club he starred for during the 1980’s and for which he led the youth sector for the past three seasons until yesterday.
“I couldn’t refuse. I also said yes for the manner in which Rosella Sensi made this proposal. I said, ‘let’s not speak about the contract’. I don’t want to think about the money,” said the 1982 World Cup champ.
“At the end of the season I will return to my role of head of the youth sector. We still have important objectives, the Coppa Italia and a Champions League qualification,” he added.
One of the main reasons that seemed to have convinced Delneri to resign from his post was the terrible relationship he had with the Roma locker-room.
“I hope to have the respect of the players. I am not here to be a tough general, but if some players start behaving in a particular manner, I will intervene. What is most important now is that there is full collaboration between the players and me,” Conti explained.

Now that Conti is incharge I hope he gets the job fulltime, especially as he was in charge of our youth sector, meaning more of our yongsters will get there chance!!
Forza Conti!!
