Juventus midfielder Aquilani not surprised seeing Montella in charge of Roma

Juventus midfielder Alberto Aquilani isn't surprised seeing former AS Roma teammate Vincenzo Montella in charge of the Giallorossi.

Now on loan from Liverpool, he takes on Roma next weekend in Serie A.

"If I score against the Giallorossi, then I will not celebrate," he pledged to his former fans. "It's going to be a difficult game for me on a personal level."

"It is a wonderful feeling to see Montella on the bench. He was always my 'neighbour' in the locker room and already in those moments you could always tell he could be a great Coach."

It is widely reported that Juventus will not take up their option to buy Aquilani from Liverpool, said to be worth €18m, so could he go to Roma instead?

"It looks difficult, but hopefully in future."
