Roma legend Bruno Conti admits he's a fan of coach Daniele de Rossi.

Conti has likened De Rossi to Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

“For me, Daniele was always a coach on the pitch because of his tactical intelligence and for the decisions he used to make. When I saw Ancelotti play, I had that same feeling," Conti told Il Corriere della Sera.

“He is also a great man, there's never a dull moment with him.

"He took over at a fragile time and he is proving himself as a proper coach, prepared for everything. I am really happy for him."
