Panucci issues public apology to Roma

Christian Panucci has apologised for his blow-up at Roma.

The veteran defender will see out the season at Roma after failing to agree terms with Hull City on Monday.

"I publicly apologise to the fans, the club and my teammates," Panucci's statement in La Gazzetta dello Sport reads.

"I want to thank the fans and my colleagues for being close to me and I don't want to fail in my responsibilities or justify my mistakes.

"As I have always done in my life I take full blame and put myself back at the disposal of the club and the technical staff for the rest of the season.

"When I said I wanted to leave Rome I was overreacting. I have been here eight years and I want to honour the colours until the end."
