Appointed in mid-January as interim coach of AS Roma, following the departure of José Mourinho, Daniele De Rossi will remain on the bench of La Louve next season. The club’s American owners, Dan and Ryan Friedkin, announced this on Thursday. “Since taking charge of the team, he has had a positive impact on the club and continued to write his extraordinary story with Roma,” they said in a statement.
The former iconic Giallorossi midfielder (616 matches from 2001 to 2019) was rewarded for his excellent results. Since his appointment, Roma has lost only once in 11 matches, against the untouchable Inter (2-4) and has moved up from ninth to fifth place, which could qualify for the next Champions League . A competition in which the Romans have not participated since 2018-2019.
In the Europa League, his performance is also very good. After eliminating Feyenoord and Brighton, De Rossi’s Roma are in a favorable position to qualify for the semi-final, after their victory (1-0) in the first leg against AC Milan. The return is scheduled for this Thursday evening, at 9 p.m.
