Daniele de Rossi has denied he's in talks to return to AS Roma.

It's been suggested De Rossi will replace his father Alberto as coach of the Roma Primavera youth team.

The former midfielder announced his retirement after a career in the Giallorossi jersey and very brief spell at Boca Juniors.

But he told Gazzetta dello Sport: “I read about suggestions I was courting Roma, but I never put myself forward to anyone and I've no intention of starting now."
