Former AS Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco has rubbished claims Daniele de Rossi wanted to see him sacked.

There's been claims Di Francesco was forced out last season due to a locker room revolt led by De Rossi.

“My working methods are the same as last season, the ones that brought us into the Champions League semi-finals," Di Francesco told the Corriere dello Sport.

“The so-called Senators of the squad were out there with the Roma jersey, starting from De Rossi, who always gave me his commitment to play even on one leg."

Di Francesco is currently weighing up his next move.
