Roma coach Di Francesco: Zaniolo not ready for No10 shirt

AS Roma coach Eusebio di Francesco has urged fans not to get carried away with Nicolo Zaniolo.

The teen is starring for Roma this season.

And Di Francesco says: “As for Zaniolo's current form, I want to make a general appeal to everyone: let's allow him to experience this moment with a relaxed state of mind and not put too much responsibility on his shoulders.

"That includes people asking if he should get the Number 10 jersey, because the 22 is fine for now.

“We should give this young man the time and space to develop without too much pressure. We know there's a player with great potential, but still has much to prove."
