In a swift and decisive move, Roma has ushered in a new era by appointing club legend Daniele De Rossi as interim manager until the end of the 2023-24 season, immediately following the departure of Jose Mourinho. The Friedkin Group’s bold decision comes on the heels of a tumultuous season for the Giallorossi, marked by a string of disappointing results, including a recent 3-1 defeat to AC Milan.
De Rossi, an iconic figure at the Stadio Olimpico, expressed his gratitude to the Friedkin family for entrusting him with the coaching role, vowing to bring dedication and resilience to the squad. With 616 appearances and 63 goals for Roma, De Rossi holds the record for the club’s all-time appearances.
Roma, currently languishing in ninth place in Serie A, hopes for an immediate impact under De Rossi’s leadership as they face Hellas Verona in their next fixture. Fans are eager for a turnaround, anticipating a boost in confidence for a squad that has struggled with seven losses in 20 Serie A games this season.
As the Giallorossi embark on this new chapter, all eyes will be on De Rossi’s ability to revive the team’s fortunes and steer them towards a more promising future.
