Cristante: "Sacking Mourinho was the right decision"

Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante has assessed the consequences of the decision to dismiss Jose Mourinho and appoint Daniele De Rossi as the team's head coach.

"When De Rossi arrived, he needed no introduction. It may not have been easy for him to join the team at a difficult time and start working with the players he played with, but he is a great player manager. We should not take this for granted.

We are happy with what we are building and the team we are becoming. The decision to change the coach was the right one. It was made by the club's owners at a difficult time. We learnt a lot about ourselves during the match against Feyenoord," RomaPress quoted Cristante as saying.
