Eusebio Di Francesco is adamant he will not walk away from Roma despite watching his side thrashed 7-1 by Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday. Despite signing the likes of Javier

Pastore, Davide Santon, Justin Kluivert and Steven Nzonzi ahead of the 2018-19 season, Roma have struggled for consistency. They currently sit outside the top four in Serie A and saw their

hopes of some domestic silverware emphatically ended in Florence. You may like A Federico Chiesa hat-trick, two for Giovanni Simeone and goals from Luis Muriel and Marco Benassi secured a

stunning quarter-final victory for Fiorentina and put Di Francesco under more pressure. But the Roma boss – who has guided the Giallorossi to the Champions League knockout stages – has no

intention of walking away from the capital club. > "The only thing to do right now is apologise to our supporters. I > apologise to them personally, for a shameful performance in

I can rule out a resignation. That has never been a thought in my mind." He added: "All we can do is apologise to our fans. I struggle to explain what happened, as it was a game we

got wrong in every conceivable way. It was shameful. "The frustrating thing is it's so inexplicable. Every time we think we are healed, we discover the illness is still

there."
