Miralem Pjanic: I joined Roma because of Enrique

Miralem Pjanic says he only joined AS Roma because of underfire coach Luis Enrique.

The midfielder joined last month from Lyon.

"I wasn't sure at the start," the midfielder said. "I didn't want to leave Lyon, but Luis Enrique's desire to get me really influenced my decision.

"I did think that I would remain in France, but Lyon and Roma agreed terms and I then opted to marry the Giallorossi."
