Udinese coach Andrea Stramaccioni says there's plenty to look forward to despite defeat to AS Roma.

Udinese will play in a new stadium next season.

"The best compliments we received from Roma players and Rudi Garcia are that the team has grown since the last time we played them," said Stramaccioni.

"Now we'll have to see what choices the club makes to improve the squad, but we fielded many youngsters today and that is how Udinese work.

"We all want to see an ambitious Udinese, the new stadium will help and we are all working to do better next year."
