Former AS Roma coach Fabio Capello admits Rudi Garcia's success has been a surprise.
Garcia's Roma have won the opening ten games of the season.
Capello said: "I had seen him at Lille, but I am only now discovering how good he is. You can see from the way he sets Roma out on the field. He is doing well and I know how hard it is to get results at Roma. He settled in very quickly and is in sync with everyone.
"You can tell the players are following him with unity on the field and off. The real surprise for me is that Roma transmit enthusiasm and joy when they play. This side drags the fans with it and captures those who otherwise wouldn't pay much attention. It's a great sensation."
