AS Roma has officially announced the decision to part ways with Daniele De Rossi, relieving him of his role as head coach of the First Team. The club’s statement emphasized that this decision was made in the best interest of the team, allowing them to quickly realign with their goals early in the season.
The announcement read: “AS Roma announces that it has relieved Daniele De Rossi of his role as head coach of the First Team. The Club’s decision is adopted in the interest of the team, in order to be able to promptly resume the desired path, at a time when the season is still at its beginning. To Daniele, who will always be at home in the Giallorossi Club, a heartfelt thank you for the work carried out in recent months with passion and dedication. Communications on the team’s technical guidance will follow.”
De Rossi, a club legend and former player, took over as head coach earlier this year after the dismissal of José Mourinho. His tenure was marked by a promising start, but results ultimately did not meet expectations. Despite being a beloved figure within the club and its fanbase, Roma’s management felt that a change was necessary to steer the team back on track.
During his brief time as head coach, De Rossi managed to instill some positive changes within the squad and brought renewed energy to the players. However, inconsistency plagued the team’s performance, leading to this decision.
The club has expressed gratitude for De Rossi’s contributions and reiterated that he will always be a part of Roma’s history. As they look ahead, Roma is expected to announce new leadership soon to guide them through the remainder of the season.
