AS Roma Sack Manager Daniele De Rossi After Poor Start To Season.
AS Roma have parted ways with manager Daniele De Rossi following a disappointing run of form that has seen the club collect just three points from their opening four matches of the season. The decision was made by the club’s owners, the Friedkin family, after a 1-1 draw against Lecce proved to be the final straw.
De Rossi, a legendary former Roma midfielder, was appointed as manager last season after the sacking of José Mourinho. The Portuguese tactician was dismissed following a turbulent campaign, with the club failing to qualify for the Champions League. De Rossi, who had been working as part of Roma’s coaching setup, was seen as the ideal candidate to steady the ship and restore the club to its former glory.
However, despite the optimism surrounding his appointment, De Rossi’s tenure has been fraught with challenges. Roma’s sluggish start to the new season has raised concerns, with a string of lacklustre performances leaving the club languishing in 16th position. A winless streak that includes a heavy 4-1 defeat to Fiorentina and frustrating draws against lower-ranked teams left the Friedkin family with little choice but to act swiftly.
In a statement, Roma expressed gratitude for De Rossi’s service to the club, both as a player and as a manager, but acknowledged that the results had not met expectations.
The search for De Rossi’s successor is expected to begin immediately, with Roma fans eagerly awaiting news on who will take the reins as the club looks to revive its season and challenge for a top-four finish in Serie A.
