Al-Duhail defender Medhi Benatia has opened the door to returning to AS Roma.

Benatia left Juventus in January for the Qatari club.

“Rudi Garcia gave me confidence, sometimes I used to act as an interpreter for him," he told Gazzetta dello Sport

“He made me captain after the two monsters Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi.

“These are things that I don't forget, like the Olimpico. When you enter that stadium, with those fans, you want to take on the world.

“Those fans deserve to win more. And I understand them. True romaniste want to win."

Asked about a return, he added: “Maybe... Roma will always be special to me."
