Fiorentina Coach Vincenzo Montella says drawing Roma is disappointing, though he admits the 'logistics' are a bonus.

The team from Florence will be confronting the Giallorossi in an Italian derby that will decide who goes through from the Europa League's Last 16.

Speaking to Viola Channel, the former Roma striker did not sound too thrilled at the prospect.

“It's a shame to meet another Italian side, but then again, we knew it was statistically possible,” he said.

“It's a shame to meet another Italian side, but then again, we knew it was statistically possible,” he said.

“Roma are a strong team and we're more than a little familiar with their game.

“I wouldn't call this a lucky draw, not least because it falls in the middle of various tough games, all taking place at the same time.

“Then again, the logistical aspect is undoubtedly positive.”
