Lazio defender Alessio Romagnoli is enjoying his football under Maurizio Sarri.

Romagnoli rates Sarri as the nest coach he's worked with.

He said, “I think he's the best coach I've had to date, I was curious to see how he worked with the line.

"I don't forget the other coaches I've had: for me they are all excellent coaches. Everyone has their own characteristics, but overall for what I like Sarri I put him first, because he takes care of the defensive line obsessively, because he has concepts with the ball that I really like. He is truly a very, very strong coach."

Romagnoli was also asked about his Bosman move from AC Milan last year.

“I don't know, but it's a question that should be asked of the directors of the time and not me. I didn't feel abandoned, but I had an agreement with them and then they didn't decide to continue.

"They made other choices, I made mine and it ended like this, in a very serene and peaceful way. I spent seven years with Milan, I've always said it: it's a very beautiful period of my life and one that I will always carry in my heart. I can only speak well of Milan."
