The Latest AS Roma News
Former Roma defender Aldair has suggested that Roma need to add to their squad if Paulo Fonseca is to be successful at the club.
Fonseca was appointed as Roma's new head coach on Tuesday, after interim boss Claudio Ranieri decided to step aside. The Portuguese tactician arrives from Ukraine, where he led Shakhtar Donetsk to three successive league and cup doubles. The reaction to Fonseca's appointment has been generally positive, and Aldair - who won the Scudetto with Roma in 2001 near the end of an iconic 13-year spell - also believes that the 46-year-old has the potential to do well. "Fonseca is good, Roma have chosen well but now they need strong players," he admitted to Leggo. "Roma have taken the right path, Paulo is prepared, intelligent and ready for the big jump. But he must be supported by the directors and the players. "Roma is a difficult place for a player who comes from abroad, let alone a player. I know it well. "I won the Scudetto when I had practically finished my career. We did it when champions like Cafu, Batistuta and Emerson arrived. That's why I say that Roma, above all, need important and ambitious players as well as a good coach." Aldair also commented on the departure of captain Daniele De Rossi, who is expected to choose the second club of his 18-year career soon, after not being extended by Roma. "I'm sorry for the controversies," reflected the Brazilian. "For him it must not have been easy after so many years. I think he still wants to play though."
