Ancelotti: Roma the strongest team in Serie A

Carlo Ancelotti believes Roma are the Serie A team with the most quality, but refused to back them as the favourites in a "very strange" title race.

The Giallorossi are currently four points behind league leaders Fiorentina, having suffered just one defeat, but they sit six ahead of reigning champions Juventus, who have won just twice this term.

Ancelotti thinks Rudi Garcia has impressive talent at his disposal and is concerned by the defensive issues AC Milan and Inter are struggling with despite a prosperous summer transfer market.

"It is truly a very strange campaign – it is open and absolutely anything could happen," the 56-year-old told  Corriere dello Sport .

"Fiorentina are doing very well and they have surprised the big clubs, who changed a great deal over the summer. They are on top and tied to the uncertainty of who will be there at the end.
