The recent dismissal of Daniele De Rossi as Roma’s head coach has sparked significant unrest within the club and among its supporters. De Rossi, who had his contract renewed just three months ago for three years at €3 million annually, was abruptly let go due to poor results, according to the club’s official statement. This decision has not only angered fans but also stirred emotions within the team itself.
Calciomercato report that in response to the growing discontent, two of Roma’s key players, captain Lorenzo Pellegrini and defender Gianluca Mancini, have taken it upon themselves to address the situation. Acting on behalf of their teammates, they approached CEO Lina Souloukou to advocate for De Rossi’s reinstatement. Their meeting reflects the players’ dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs and their desire to see a familiar face back at the helm.
The situation is further complicated by reports that the decision to part ways with De Rossi was not as sudden as it seemed. Prior to a match against Genoa, Roma’s management had conducted individual meetings with several players to assess their relationship with the coach. Despite no apparent betrayals from the squad, the decision to dismiss De Rossi had already been made.
With Ivan Juric now in charge, the pressure is on for immediate results. However, the call for De Rossi’s return highlights a deeper issue within the club: a need for stability and unity. As fans continue to express their displeasure, Roma faces a critical juncture that could define its season.
