AS Roma captain Francesco Totti is happy to be playing for new coach Vincenzo Montella.
Totti was keen to hail the ability of his former teammate.
"When he turned up it seemed as if he had been coaching for 20 years," said the Giallorossi captain.
"We have an excellent rapport and I hope he stays for some time. Montella has come in and changed our form.
"We have returned to patterns we know well. The derby [on Sunday] is important, but now we are playing in Europe.
"Shakhtar? We have to get through. We know who we are facing and what counter-measures are needed. We can cause them difficulties."
