Daniele de Rossi feels ready to enter management.

The Roma great was part of Italy's coaching staff for their Euro 2020 title triumph.

“It was a difficult choice, but I am leaving the Nazionale," De Rossi told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I got on wonderfully with everyone and the Euros was an unforgettable experience, but I have very clear ideas about what I want to do and that is to be a coach.

“It might seem strange, as I am 38 years old and have never sat on a bench before, but I feel ready. Continuing with the Italy staff and just waiting for the first club to free up would not be fair on the Federation or Mancini."
