De Rossi: "I would have walked to Fiorentina to take the job, but first I will get licensed"

Daniele De Rossi is considering his future in football post-retirement. The former midfielder is in the process of obtaining his coaching licenses, and discussed it while at an award ceremony for the Premio Calabrese: "I am studying. I watch matches with my staff. I would like to visit trainings but because of coronavirus I cannot. I am awaiting anxiously the date to begin courses and obtain my license. Simone Inzaghi and Gattuso have become great coaches so you have to wait and see what the results are before speaking. I must get the license first. Fiorentina? I would walk there. I think anyone would do that, the same for any Serie A job. Any coach would want to start somewhere of that level. Roma's new owners? I don't have specific advice, but what I've heard of the fact of having their feet on the ground in the long run will be a positive. Making promises that you can't keep is a mistake. It's better to start with tempered expectations and then wow everyone."
