Roma, Capello defends Di Francesco: 'He deserves to finish the season'

Roma, Capello defends Di Francesco: 'He deserves to finish the season'

Former Roma and England coach Fabio Capello has spoken to Sky Sport about his former club after the Giallorossi were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League last night; losing 3-1 to Porto after extra time in Portugal. 

"Di Francesco deserves to finish the season, no-one performs miracles and there is not much time from here to the end. I hope that Rome will not get a new coach, because Di Francesco was a player of mine and I wish him to continue until the end of the year and to have those successes that he deserves because he is a serious and prepared person. Two games, which seem easy on the card, the team must prove they can play and serve six points up."
