Former Roma boss Luis Enrique has said his experience with the Giallorossi would have been even worse if not for a psychologist.

“As a Coach, I understand that the presence of a psychologist is important. Footballers are people like everybody else, with their fears and problems.”

Enrique left the Eternal City in May after a stressful debut season in Serie A. Roma finished seventh under his stewardship, losing both derbies with Lazio and failing to qualify for Europe.
