Eusebio di Francesco is delighted with his new deal at AS Roma.

The coach has penned terms to 2020.

“I felt at home when I came here last summer and I've taken up residency here," he told Roma TV.

“It's important for me to have had the opportunity to give continuity to our technical project.

“There's desire on the club's part for us to grow together. We had an extraordinary season with some little regrets for not having reached the Champions League Final.

“It was a very good Champions League, but we have to start over in the League and do better than we did last year. There must be a desire to improve each day.

“Retreat at Trigoria? We've made this decision so all our tools are available, plus we'll then leave for our tour.

“I hear from director Monchi every day. We're trying to build a team who are competitive in every aspect.

“However, it seems too early to talk about players because the transfer market always has strange dynamics."
