We know the name of José Mourinho’s successor, whose departure AS Roma announced this Tuesday morning. Daniele De Rossi is officially named coach of the club. After wearing the Roma jersey for 18 years (616 matches, 63 goals), the Italian arrives to try to save the end of the Giallorossi season. In a press release, the board said it was “happy to be able to entrust the management of AS Roma to Daniele De Rossi, because we believe that the leadership and ambition that have always defined him can prove decisive in achieving the objectives of the team until the end of the season. »
Stuck in 9th place in Serie A, Roma is four points from first place in Europe. “We don’t have the time or the choice to be competitive, to fight for our goals and try to achieve them, which are the only priorities my team and I have set for ourselves,” explains De Rossi in the press release. The former midfielder has already had several experiences on the sidelines. First as technical coach with Italy, with whom he won the Euro, then with SPAL in Serie B. But the mayonnaise never took hold.
