Former Roma goalkeeper Francesco Toldo hopes Daniele de Rossi can prove himself as coach.

Toldo concedes De Rossi faces a massive challenge as Roma coach.

He said: "It's a gamble, but Daniele has courage and I hope that the results prove him right. He has the position, as Mourinho had it. Coaching your favourite team is not easy, you have to put emotions aside. But I wish him the best."

Toldo also told RAI Radio: "Inter are a war machine, those two up front drag the team and there's the rest of the group who recover the ball and run. Plus they concede few goals, all the right ingredients to make a goalkeeper feel calm.

"But yesterday Sommer wasn't calm. I like Fiorentina, they play, the coach teaches how to play football, obviously there are differences in investments, but I think they deserve that position in the standings, the hope of qualifying for the Champions League is there."
