Roma captain Francesco Totti has issued a rallying call to his team-mates and urged them to back coach Luis Enrique ahead of the new Serie A season which begins this weekend.
The first round of fixtures were postponed because of a player strike in Italy so Roma has had to wait until after the break for Italy's participation in Euro 2012 qualifying games before opening their 2011-2012 campaign at home to Cagliari on Sunday.
The game will be Enrique's first in charge and Totti wrote on his blog: "We must rally around the new coach."
He added: "We'll do it together and with one goal, Roma, of which I am just the biggest fan.
"This year I hope, as always, presents the fans with great satisfaction.
"We wait for the stadium to support us as you always do, and I am sure we will make you rejoice."
