Rocca was inducted into Roma’s Hall of Fame.
Today, the legendary defender attended the team’s training session and was presented by De Rossi to the team.
“I present to you a legend of Roma. Many of you don’t know him: Francesco Rocca, player, coach, legend,” said De Rossi to his men.
“He’s a living example of how you should carry yourselves. He was my coach growing up, and he kicked me out a couple of times!”
Rocca replied by saying, “It’s always nice to be back. Good luck to everyone for next season. Thanks to Daniele for the kind words.”
