Roma fullback Federico Balzaretti believes that Rudi Garcia is a great individual and has been fantastic since the first day he arrived at the club.

Balzaretti is currently injured and has been struggling with injury over the last 11 months and although he has hardly featured under the coach, he can see that Garcia has revitalised the Giallorossi.

“Garcia is a great person and coach, he has been outstanding from day one,” Balzaretti told Sky Sport Italia during his side’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Tuesday evening.

“He has been able to lift the team from the rubble that was left after losing to Lazio in the Coppa Italia final and bring them up to the Champions League.

“Rudi did a great job in giving the players confidence. Last season was fantastic and now Roma are a team that is strong enough to win Serie A and compete in the Champions League.”

He also assessed his current injury plight.

“I’m continuing the recovery phase, but it is not easy.

“This has been my problem for 11 months, it is a difficult situation and I am struggling to get back onto the field.”
