“Right now I am in the training retreat in Doha and we are preparing for the Champions League tie,” Criscito told SportItalia.

“Spalletti is a fantastic person and I am happy he’s getting back to work. People like him are good for football. He was an important Coach in my career, he brought me to St. Petersburg and we had a wonderful three years together.

“Will I go to Roma? I don’t know, we’d have to see if the Coach still wants me… I would be proud to receive a call from Roma.

“I do miss Italian football. I watch it from Russia. I should also note I am very happy here and nobody has called me so far.

“I am happy with the way my career has gone so far. I’d like to get back into the Nazionale. We’re approaching Euro 2016, so we’ll see what happens.”
