Roma's Daniele De Rossi: 'It's beautiful' to work under Antonio Conte

Daniele De Rossi has spoken of his admiration for Chelsea manager Antonio Conte ahead of Roma's meeting with the Premier League champions on Wednesday.

De Rossi played under Conte when he was manager of Italy between 2014 and 2016 and the Roma captain says he learned a lot in those years.

"If one day I am to become a coach, I will take a lot from [Antonio Conte] and from Luis Enrique," De Rossi told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "He illuminated me, and it's not the first time I say that. It's not easy to be one of his players, but it's beautiful.
