AS Roma have officially unveiled new coach Rudi Garcia to local media.

Garcia signed with Roma last week from Lille.

"You can't say no when Roma call," the 49-year-old stated. "The only regret I have is that I wasn't able to say goodbye to the Lille fans after years of success together.

"I'm ambitious and we'll work hard. I am afraid of nothing and I'm here to win with a side that enjoys playing football and entertaining the fans.

"There is a competitive squad here. Now the important thing is that we get back into Europe - if that is through the biggest door [the Champions League] then that would be better.

"To do that I want to get to know all of the squad and then aim to strengthen it."
