Delvecchio insists Sassuolo coach Di Francesco not good enough for Roma

Former Roma striker Marco Delvecchio believes Sassuolo coach Eusebio Di Francesco isn't good enough for his old club.

Di Francesco is expected to succeed Luciano Spalletti.

“He doesn't convince me. You bring in a new Coach to give something more to the team. With Eusebio it's another step down for Roma," Delvecchio told Rete Sport.

"If Spalletti had stayed, and made a few additions on the transfer market, then Roma really would have grown.

“If you want to get into the Europa League, winning or losing a few games, then Di Francesco is fine. The team is strong enough to do that anyway.

“But if Roma want more than the Europa League, they need another Coach."
