Paulo Fonseca says he's proud of his time in charge of Roma.

Fonseca leaves the job after today's clash with Spezia.

"The players are motivated, we have trained well this week. We are aware that it is important to win to qualify for Europe," said the Portuguese coach.

“Spezia play really well, they always want to have the initiative. Italiano is a great coach with a bright future, it's not easy to play against them but we want to win," he continued.

“I am proud to have been the Roma coach, I've learned a lot here. Fans have always been kind to me, I leave Roma, but the club and these fans remain in my heart."
