Roma veteran Daniele De Rossi sung the praises of coach Luciano Spalletti after victory over Fiorentina.

Roma have established themselves as Juventus' closest title rivals.

After the 4-0 win last night, De Rossi stated: "I was talking with the fellow today, he has proven to be the anchor to keep Roma at a certain level, and luckily for him he also found great professionals here.

"He has something extra that the others do not have.

"I also like (Napoli coach Maurizio) Sarri, if you do not have these coaches football does not progress."
