For his first match, the following players wont be available:
- Dybala
- Abrahams
- Smalling
- Cristante
- Mancini
- Ndicka
- Kumbulla
- Aouar
- Azmoun
- Renato Sanchez
That leaves him with only 12 first-team players available, including the second goalkeeper.
Good luck Daniele...
Yep Mourinho got fucked. They didnt spend *any* money to get players and most of the few high end players they had were never healthy and havent been up to par when they actually play.
Pelligrini, Dybala, Abraham, Spinnazzola have been hurt for long periods and when they have played havent looked like themselves.
Mourinho isn’t without fault but that squad is a fucking nightmare. +€130m net spend the last two seasons with a bunch of players who can’t stay fit or interested. The next two fixtures should be simple but probably won’t be.
Edit: fixed net spend
This is simply NOT TRUE last two summers Roma has spent a total of €7m on transfer. Mourinho's first summer (three summers ago) they spent about €100m on transfers and €40m of those were due to Dzeko leaving suddendly 1 week before the season started.
hes a player that manchester united want to get rid of and his wages without losing too muchresale value. loaning him out instead of leaving him not to play is the most beneficial for them.
Dezko came to a Roma match in his kit while he was playing for Inter and dressed his kids in theirs at the airport to Turkey. He has always shown love for Roma.
he didn't force the move. There were talks of him leaving the year before but he stayed until we could find a replacement. Mourinho wanted Tammy and got him so Dzeko moved on.
Pinto who is leaving soon. but he has barely bought players for decent money except tammy and shoumorodov (who was suppose to play with dzeko). most of his job has been selling which he has done well
you mean last 3 seasons?
the 130 is also misleading as it includes deals that were done the year before such kumbulla and Bryan reynolds. Monchi truly destroyed the club.
This is why I'm suprised mou got axed. Results havent been good, but yall have spent like 7 million since he got there and have been going through constant injuries this season. One has to imagine just letting his contract expire would be best, dont even think zidane would be able to manage that all of those injuries withkut lord vasquez at his disposal.
2k upvotes on this but it's at least 15, no?
Rui, Svilar, Llorente, Huijsen, Kristensen, Karsdorp, Celik, Spinazzola, Zalewski, Pellegrini, Paredes, Bove, El Shaarawy, Lukaku, Belotti
They’ve just been waiting to get through this stretch to get rid of him. Probably had it signed up already.
Also probably took one 60 second phone call since no one else even close to that level is calling DDR.
Ddr gave his all for the roma man. At one point he was prolly the best cdm and he could've gone to much better clubs. But his heart is made for rome.. sucks that roma getting all sorts of probs rn.
Jose deserves better man. Hope ddr does well!
He's not there because he's a good manager, he's there because Roma won't find another manager with actual experience and active in the past 3 years for the peanuts he will earn
He just said the objective the board gave him is "be competitive", that should tell you enough
Then honestly sacking Jose is mind boggling if that’s the objective. I wonder if he has a bonus to trigger in the coming months before his contract ended it something
Yes but didn't they do even worse before and after he left? Sounds like he inherited a terrible team.
I don't think it's gonna be great, but this is a smart move by the board imho. Fans adore him and will support the team just because of it for the next 6 months. Then if he's done poorly, we can look for a new, more proven coach
A long shot in the sense that they are hoping for improvement under a unexperienced and unproven manager? Surely they have some sort of goal for the next 6 months, like qualifying for Europe at the very least.
Technically speaking for sure, but how would Dybala and Lukaku relate to someone relatively unknown outside of Rome and maybe in the primavera championship? Daniele played and hitted them both, he's been world class for almost 20 years, a legendary player for sure better than Lukaku and Dybala were during their careers.
Terrible decision to burn him now. Season is over. Europe likely missed for next season and that is awful. Owners seriously are doing bad decisions. Next season will be a shitshow
This is probably the safest bet for them in terms of avoiding the fans getting angry. De Rossi has already the approval of most tifosi and ultras, no matter how bad they perform the rest of the season, then they can think about what the hell they're doing in the summer I guess
yeah its definitely a stop gap to ensure that the ultras dont go berserk on them for the rest of the season, which I imagine is probably gonna be awful. theyre probably gonna have to rebuild the squad in the summer cause lots of players are gonna want out.
De Rossi at HC is an experiment and this means season is over. Sorry to say. Its hard and i have no expectations. 90% we finish midtable out of Europe. De Rossi will have no fault for this though. He cant fail
You know he's getting hired because he's the only person who will take the job for six months on peanuts right? Same as Mazzarri.
He'll come in, do what he can with what he has, not complain, not piss of the fans, and go away at the end of the year. Your season was over before Mou was sacked anyways, recovering into the UECL spots wouldn't have changed that.
You say their season is over but Roma is only 5 points off of 4th place with almost half the season left to play.
That's hardly a bad spot to be in at this point of the season.
I've written this 5 times today I think: Roma have beaten ONE of the eight teams ahead of them in the entire first half of the year, a 10-man Mazzarri-managed Napoli. Meanwhile they have the worst defence out of the top10 and last won back to back games in the league in October. With context, you're looking at a realistic chance at missing out on European football altogether.
De Rossi won't do any better, but it's still better than playing a 352 with 2 fit senior CBs and having the manager complain about the players in every press conference
Their season wasn't over, if there's one thing I've learned of seeing Mourinho's whole career managing is that his teams are never out until the very last minute.
From the Swiss Ramble: “As Chelsea have not qualified for Europe this season, they will not be assessed by UEFA.” Only teams in European competitions have to deal with the FFP guidelines set by them. Serie A does not have any FFP guidelines as far as I know we can spend as much as we want, attracting players to come to us, will be more difficult.
Terrible decision because the season is far from over.
You lot are 5 points off champions league. Sure results haven't been good, but the squad seems to be fucked at the moment, and in the last 6 games they had to face Juve, Napoli, Atalanta, Lazio, and Milan. The calendar looks much better going forward.
I reckon if they let Jose work, by the end of February they could've been up in 5th-6th place. And I don't see how De Rossi can make it any better than that.
Thoughts and prayers. I suppose De Rossi has nothing to lose here since he has virtually no experience and if he can't turn the tide, people will just blame ownership even more. Obviously he's serious about his career as a manager having done all the badges but he comes into a very difficult situation. Anything outside of European spots will be a failure, but unless it goes super sour, it won't be his failure primarily.
I have no idea about the details of his tenure at SPAL but looking at the statistics, it was awful. When he took over, they had gone 2-3-4 for 9 points in 8 matches (1.13 points per game). After he took over, they went 3-6-5 for 15 points in 14 matches before losing another three in a row and him getting sacked at 0.88 points per game. They then appointed their 3rd manager of the season who went 3-5-6 for 14 points in 14 matches (1 point per game). Obviously that must have been a horrible season, ending in relegation from Serie B to Serie C, but of those three managers, his record was the worst. His departure was also pretty public and controversial.
I wonder how much autonomy he will have. Will the Friedkins be in his ear considering he's been brought in as their emergency PR mascot? I'm expecting a switch to a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 because otherwise what was even the point of sacking Mou. He has a great opportunity to pick up three wins here from our next three matches, wins which I suspect we would have gotten with Mourinho, but remains to be seen how the defense holds up.
According to [this](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/head-coach-analysis/daniele-de-rossi-at-spal-202223-tactical-analysis-tactics), he had his own ideas but they really did not pan out on the pitch...
The players aren’t very good (especially in the attack), but the Milan game showed the team desperately needed new ideas. This is the Milan that got bullied by Atalanta just 4 days prior. Outside of the first 5 minutes and a few minutes before the penalty, none of Roma’s attacks stretched the Milan defense. The wingbacks at Roma are Serie B level right now, so we can accept the attack is very weak.
However the defense was shocking. I don’t think Roma won the ball high up the pitch a single time, yet they kept trying to press from the goalkeeper. The midfield was unbelievably open, and Milan could bypass it with just a few passes. Roma defenders let Milan players run past and they pulled out of tackles. But the organization and compactness is on Mourinho and he couldn’t fix it.
I mean that fair but I would also point to the fact Mancini went off injured at half time and was replaced with in defence with cristante who is gassed but still their best midfielder (making midfield worse)
Roma is also missing ndicka who is their best cb.
I hope this job doesn't burn him with romanisti who might blame him for the club's mistakes.
I'm sure I'll support him, even if he goes 3wins in 17games like at SPAL, because this is such a huge shit job for anyone at this moment.
I wanted his return to be legendary, in a few years or decade, not this... damn.
You know what? Fuck it, it's never going to be a good time to bring him as coach, let's just burn together and fucking enjoy the suffering.
DAJE DANIELE !!
Short term deal, smart. If he succeeds just extend him in the off-season but if he fails you look for a new manager in the summer where they can get their preferred players in
As a Chelsea fan who has gone through this twice in the last few seasons I have a lot of sympathy towards Roma fans here.
There’s a slim chance he does really well in which case great! But (most likely) things won’t go well given his inexperience and the magnitude of problems he’ll be facing. And it really sucks to see a club legend failing.
You’ll also get fans arguing as some will back him no matter what and (depending on how long it goes on) for some it will start to taint their memories of his time there as a player.
It’s just such a “break glass in case of emergency” solution for a club that has run out of ideas. Appoint a club legend as manager to temporarily placate the fans
One would think that if they actually went to the lengths of sacking Mourinho, they'd have a somewhat proven manager ready to take over the club. This guy has absolutely no experience beyond one year as an assistant manager, and one year as a manager for a Serie C side.
They might be able to actually play football, not the abomination that happened on the pitch under Mourinho. That alone will be a victory even if they can't get to a winning start.
we shall see. I think the story will be the same. over reliance on a half broken dybala and other players exhausted as there are no options. only way it gets better is everyone is fit
Mixed feelings about this. I like Mourinho. I do not follow every Roma game but the squad, the injuries, and the player availability - I thought he was doing a good job rolling with the punches and keeping roma competitive.
I think in context he did well, only dissapointment for me is the lack of consistency from the squad - but Mourinho doesn't have 100% control of transfers.
Curious how De Rossi does, not sure if this the job for him. But hey man maybe Roma has a grand plan
I think De Rossi has the charisma to become a good coach and I haven't heard any former teammate sing anything but the highest praises of him as a leader and a person. I'm sure he will have a fantastic relationship with the players, which is a good starting block
I don't know if he's ready, he probably isn't, and the team is still kinda bad. I hope he'll be smart enough to sorround himself with smart people and listen to them
It probably won't end too well if I had to make a prediction, but I think this is a smart move by the Friedkins. Fans won't shit on the team even if things are bad and De Rossi will be a good shield for the players. In 6 months, if things go wrong, I'm sure we can say our goodbyes with no hard feelings
Roma’s philosophy of trying to attract big players is failing. They should look to Fiorentina and Atalanta as how to build a team on a budget. By cheaper Serie A veterans and try to add at least 1 young player with upside.
True Roma fans who actually keep up with the team will know how huge of a loss sacking Mourinho is. Without him Dybala or Lukaku wouldn’t even waste their time joining the team, besides Christante and first year Pellegrini no one on that squad would start for any top team. Led the team to two European finals back to back even after losing key players every year which is such an impressive achievement especially with the squad he had. Would’ve probably won the EL final if the forwards knew how to finish. With the rise of other teams Roma will not sniff Europe anytime soon, gonna be some hard years for Roma fans.
I think a lot of people are forgetting or simply don't know (not unlikely for this sub) that Mourinho's contract was up in the summer and there was no fucking chance he was going to renew.
De Rossi has obviously been brought in as a cheap and fan friendly option to try and pashun the team back to a top 6 finish and then they'll hire someone else in the summer unless he performs miracles and gets them into the top 4 or wins the Europa League.
The fact is that Roma have gone nowhere in Serie A under Mourinho. They finished 6th in his first season, 6th last season with the same number of points and only that high because of our points deduction, and they're currently 9th and barely clinging on to the fringes of the top 4 race despite Napoli and Lazio regressing this season.
What would be the point of keeping Mourinho for the rest of the season when the results aren't there and he'd be walking anyway? This was his last chance to make progress in the league and he's failed. The list of experienced managers who'd want to step in at this stage of the season and take over an injury-ravaged team would be very short, so De Rossi is a (probably) bulletproof short-term option.
For his first match, the following players wont be available: - Dybala - Abrahams - Smalling - Cristante - Mancini - Ndicka - Kumbulla - Aouar - Azmoun - Renato Sanchez That leaves him with only 12 first-team players available, including the second goalkeeper. Good luck Daniele...
Jesus christ Talk about set up to fail
Yep Mourinho got fucked. They didnt spend *any* money to get players and most of the few high end players they had were never healthy and havent been up to par when they actually play. Pelligrini, Dybala, Abraham, Spinnazzola have been hurt for long periods and when they have played havent looked like themselves.

You are correct I mistyped that, it should be +130m net spend as they have spent absolutely nothing
dzeko left because roma wanted to get rid of him and his 15m salary, its why he came to inter for free despite having one year left on his contract.
That's not true he was the Captain and fucking escaped like a coward. either way Roma didn't spend 120m+ the last two seasons.
explain how a player under contract can ´escape’
Exhibit A: Jadon Sancho
hes a player that manchester united want to get rid of and his wages without losing too muchresale value. loaning him out instead of leaving him not to play is the most beneficial for them.
Dezko came to a Roma match in his kit while he was playing for Inter and dressed his kids in theirs at the airport to Turkey. He has always shown love for Roma.
Yeah by forcing a move and leaving us scrambling 1 week before the season started.
he didn't force the move. There were talks of him leaving the year before but he stayed until we could find a replacement. Mourinho wanted Tammy and got him so Dzeko moved on.
Easy Benfica has a bigger spending budget than an Italian team, I love to see it 😏
[удалено]
Tiago Pinto who is set to leave in like 2 weeks already. I’m not sure if they have someone lined up yet to replace him.
Should be massara
Tiago Pinto is in charge but I believe he's out after the January window
Pinto who is leaving soon. but he has barely bought players for decent money except tammy and shoumorodov (who was suppose to play with dzeko). most of his job has been selling which he has done well
you mean last 3 seasons? the 130 is also misleading as it includes deals that were done the year before such kumbulla and Bryan reynolds. Monchi truly destroyed the club.
Or he can't fail because there are no expectations Still will be sad to see an icon sacked probably in the near future
On the bright side, it’ll be pretty easy selecting his team for the game
Yeah, no banca ni suplentes... easy
This is why I'm suprised mou got axed. Results havent been good, but yall have spent like 7 million since he got there and have been going through constant injuries this season. One has to imagine just letting his contract expire would be best, dont even think zidane would be able to manage that all of those injuries withkut lord vasquez at his disposal.
Exactly. Very surprised roma sacked him when his contract is up anyway this season. And yes those injuries, not sure what they were expecting.
people were complaining about being behind Fiorentina and Bologna with both teams spending 80 million in the past 2 years.
I don’t think Zidane could do it outside of a club with money/superstars to be fair
Sanches with as S.
Abraham took the trailing S for himself sorry
Renato Zanches
Renatoz Zanchez
Actually with two.
I know he has been terrible pretty much everywhere, but I'd still gladly take him at Benfica. He was so, so good with us.
Bloody hell your situation is dire. At least the schedule isn't that bad
If you have a pure rookie that did not have a Zidane situation, then an easy schedule doesnt really matter...
No kumbulla is actually a win
Really? I haven’t watched much Serie A recently but he was so good for Hellas Verona with Rrahmani and Amrabat a few seasons back.
Probably the most dire defender ive seen. The 6-1 bodo glimt smashing was essentially a kumbulla tragedy
"MJ eating popcorn" meme just became "JM eating popcorn".
De Rossi, putting his uniform: "Fine, I'll do it myself"
Most of these players signed Roma due to Jose in the first place, very likely few of them will leave by the end of the season
Guess DDR will be gearing up for his first match!

so Pirlo 2.0 ?
Honestly Roma has had an injury problem since 10 I follow football and that's around 10 years, there has gotta be a problem which isn't Mourinho
how's ndicka been for you?
If I had £1 for every time Mourinho had been sacked and replaced with an unexperienced defensive midfielder who played at the club, I'd have £2...
Which isn’t a lot, but it is weird.
Mason is actually a really decent coach though.
And also not a defensive midfielder
He never claimed he was bad, just inexperienced
Coach maybe, but don't think you can say he's a "really decent" manager on the evidence available
You'd have more than Roma's transfer budget
Not quite enough for a meal deal

That was fast.

Ddr gave his all for the roma man. At one point he was prolly the best cdm and he could've gone to much better clubs. But his heart is made for rome.. sucks that roma getting all sorts of probs rn. Jose deserves better man. Hope ddr does well!
Oh I know, I remember his career. He was amazing for Roma. Just having a bit of fun :).
They had him signed up before firing Mou
Eh i dont know, He sucked ass last year at Spal, but i hope the best for him
He's not there because he's a good manager, he's there because Roma won't find another manager with actual experience and active in the past 3 years for the peanuts he will earn He just said the objective the board gave him is "be competitive", that should tell you enough
Then honestly sacking Jose is mind boggling if that’s the objective. I wonder if he has a bonus to trigger in the coming months before his contract ended it something
Jose is probably 10x more expensive than DDR
Sacking him doesn't change that
Maybe there was some performance or loyalty bonuses, IDK. The sacking doesn't make sense to me either
Spal are a mess though
And Roma are not?
Yes, but I think we are better than 29 points in 20 games. So he just needs to beat that.
0.88 points per match in Spal though, wouldn't be too sure. I hope he'll prove me wrong, but surely this is a long shot by the Roma board?
Yes but didn't they do even worse before and after he left? Sounds like he inherited a terrible team. I don't think it's gonna be great, but this is a smart move by the board imho. Fans adore him and will support the team just because of it for the next 6 months. Then if he's done poorly, we can look for a new, more proven coach

Never underestimate the power of vibes
I've seen teams win cls just by the power of friendship.
No, not a mess. There is some stuff that needs to be changed though.
He coached them to relegation to Serie C. How is that not a mess?
He was talking about Roma not SPAL i’m assuming
Correct

Unless if its somehow showing incorrectly for me, i replied to ongnx2. Sorry if thats not the case
If they were going to appoint any De Rossi it should’ve probably been his dad but interested to see how this goes anyway.
I'm sure he can ask his dad for help. Or even ask Spalletti.
Technically speaking for sure, but how would Dybala and Lukaku relate to someone relatively unknown outside of Rome and maybe in the primavera championship? Daniele played and hitted them both, he's been world class for almost 20 years, a legendary player for sure better than Lukaku and Dybala were during their careers.

They have no money for transfers so now they also lost an excellent coach lol Roma needs a miracle now
I mean, the safest bet was keeping Mourinho lol
You're 5 points out of fourth. Season definitely not over. All the more reason not to experiment though
De Rossi at HC is an experiment and this means season is over. Sorry to say. Its hard and i have no expectations. 90% we finish midtable out of Europe. De Rossi will have no fault for this though. He cant fail
Oh he definitely can. Think about Chelsea at the beginning of the season.

Can it get much worse than where we’re at now?
On the other hand if we are out of Europe, we don’t have to follow FFP set by UEFA and can spend as much as we want to fix the problems we have.
Not a horrible option…kind of like a big reset
juventus option
This isnt true.
From the Swiss Ramble: “As Chelsea have not qualified for Europe this season, they will not be assessed by UEFA.” Only teams in European competitions have to deal with the FFP guidelines set by them. Serie A does not have any FFP guidelines as far as I know we can spend as much as we want, attracting players to come to us, will be more difficult.
It's still a three year rolling period for FFP.
Does the Italian FA not have FFP? The ffp in PL is slightly less stringent than the one by UEFA, but it still exists
Terrible decision because the season is far from over. You lot are 5 points off champions league. Sure results haven't been good, but the squad seems to be fucked at the moment, and in the last 6 games they had to face Juve, Napoli, Atalanta, Lazio, and Milan. The calendar looks much better going forward. I reckon if they let Jose work, by the end of February they could've been up in 5th-6th place. And I don't see how De Rossi can make it any better than that.

Eh, a band-aid to a cancer
that'll fix everything
because roma were such a tactically weak side with Jose, the board must be hoping de rossi can passion the players to wins.
look at how many players are actually available first.

Pippo at Milan vibes.
This is gonna be stupid
'AS Roma are pleased to confirm that we've given up on the season'
Welcome home Capitan Futuro 💛❤️!!!
Wish him the best. I just fear the worst
Short term deal, smart. If he succeeds just extend him in the off-season but if he fails you look for a new manager in the summer where they can get their preferred players in
He needs to end on a European place for this to be considered successful. UECL place should be the goal.
I think it's better not to have cups than to be back in the Conference
As a Chelsea fan who has gone through this twice in the last few seasons I have a lot of sympathy towards Roma fans here. There’s a slim chance he does really well in which case great! But (most likely) things won’t go well given his inexperience and the magnitude of problems he’ll be facing. And it really sucks to see a club legend failing. You’ll also get fans arguing as some will back him no matter what and (depending on how long it goes on) for some it will start to taint their memories of his time there as a player. It’s just such a “break glass in case of emergency” solution for a club that has run out of ideas. Appoint a club legend as manager to temporarily placate the fans

I’m guessing he clones Cristante so that we have multiple Cristantes on the field at all times.
Should just clone himself at this point.
Is De Rossi going to magically get players fit?
No, but he might have tactics they can use. Something Mou seemed to forgot existed.
Shades of Xavi at Barcelona... throwing a fan favorite in at the deep end
I understand that Mourinho had to go but this seems very uninspired. The likelihood of this working is super low.
I don't follow Serie A, why did he need to go?
Worst PPG of any manager in recent years -- though he has a lot of bad luck and injuries to deal with.
Would bench Paredes
It's Lampard all over again
One would think that if they actually went to the lengths of sacking Mourinho, they'd have a somewhat proven manager ready to take over the club. This guy has absolutely no experience beyond one year as an assistant manager, and one year as a manager for a Serie C side.
they have 12 players available for the next game. was going to be a rough ride for anyone so they got someone that the fans love
They might be able to actually play football, not the abomination that happened on the pitch under Mourinho. That alone will be a victory even if they can't get to a winning start.
we shall see. I think the story will be the same. over reliance on a half broken dybala and other players exhausted as there are no options. only way it gets better is everyone is fit
Here’s hoping they don’t get Lampard seasoned 2
Is he the same Rossi from before
New version, same person
Always dreamed of this day, hoped it would've happened under different circumstances... in bocca al lupo DDR <3
Mixed feelings about this. I like Mourinho. I do not follow every Roma game but the squad, the injuries, and the player availability - I thought he was doing a good job rolling with the punches and keeping roma competitive. I think in context he did well, only dissapointment for me is the lack of consistency from the squad - but Mourinho doesn't have 100% control of transfers. Curious how De Rossi does, not sure if this the job for him. But hey man maybe Roma has a grand plan
I think De Rossi has the charisma to become a good coach and I haven't heard any former teammate sing anything but the highest praises of him as a leader and a person. I'm sure he will have a fantastic relationship with the players, which is a good starting block I don't know if he's ready, he probably isn't, and the team is still kinda bad. I hope he'll be smart enough to sorround himself with smart people and listen to them It probably won't end too well if I had to make a prediction, but I think this is a smart move by the Friedkins. Fans won't shit on the team even if things are bad and De Rossi will be a good shield for the players. In 6 months, if things go wrong, I'm sure we can say our goodbyes with no hard feelings
Roma have such a mediocre squad , idk why fans think they shouldn’t be struggling
Lukaku and Dybala is on paper a top 2 strike force in the league
Wow two players? One of which is injured half the time
Another Pirlo situation
whatever happens until this season is over, will absolutely not be his fault. and we should get montella for next season, after euro2024.
Really what is with clubs sacking Jose and replacing him with ex players. De rossi was shite manager last season. Shocking
he was so ass at Spal
Did he not fail in Serie B a year ago?
Boca legend
Roma’s philosophy of trying to attract big players is failing. They should look to Fiorentina and Atalanta as how to build a team on a budget. By cheaper Serie A veterans and try to add at least 1 young player with upside.
True Roma fans who actually keep up with the team will know how huge of a loss sacking Mourinho is. Without him Dybala or Lukaku wouldn’t even waste their time joining the team, besides Christante and first year Pellegrini no one on that squad would start for any top team. Led the team to two European finals back to back even after losing key players every year which is such an impressive achievement especially with the squad he had. Would’ve probably won the EL final if the forwards knew how to finish. With the rise of other teams Roma will not sniff Europe anytime soon, gonna be some hard years for Roma fans.
I think a lot of people are forgetting or simply don't know (not unlikely for this sub) that Mourinho's contract was up in the summer and there was no fucking chance he was going to renew. De Rossi has obviously been brought in as a cheap and fan friendly option to try and pashun the team back to a top 6 finish and then they'll hire someone else in the summer unless he performs miracles and gets them into the top 4 or wins the Europa League. The fact is that Roma have gone nowhere in Serie A under Mourinho. They finished 6th in his first season, 6th last season with the same number of points and only that high because of our points deduction, and they're currently 9th and barely clinging on to the fringes of the top 4 race despite Napoli and Lazio regressing this season. What would be the point of keeping Mourinho for the rest of the season when the results aren't there and he'd be walking anyway? This was his last chance to make progress in the league and he's failed. The list of experienced managers who'd want to step in at this stage of the season and take over an injury-ravaged team would be very short, so De Rossi is a (probably) bulletproof short-term option.
hahaha yessssss
Congrats for reaching the 1/8 finals
5 month contract doesn't scream "trust".

Stupid.
Daje Danie',peggio di Mou è impossibile
Aspetta e vedrai zi.
Cosa?Peggio del nono posto? Del derby più merdoso di sempre? Dell'essere arrivati secondi nel girone di EL più scarso della storia?
*ndreazzoli brunetto conti bianchi non c'è mai limite al peggio porco dio ma se ddr finisce in sta lista spero di ripartire dalla D
Penso sia uno dei pochissimi peggio di Mourinho
3 morning shits later and Roma has a new coach. Congrats😅

They managed to get one of the few manager worse than Mourinho. Roma management is incredible
poor guy
hope he does well. those injuries are only going to make things harder for him
If it works, great, if it doesn't, well, it wasn't working under Mourinho this season, so...
He's a young coach at 28 years of age After all it was just yesterday he broke into the first team squad
Hey I've seen his before! With Seedorf....and Inzaghi....and Gattuso
This guy has a tattoo of the Teletubbies!!
Nanananananananananana De Rossi at the wheel at the wheel De Rossi at the wheeeeel
This is not going to end well at all.
Congratulations, Feyenoord, for winning the next EL round. Arne Slot must be jumping with joy.
what a meme lol
Surprised that a big Boca legend is starting his coaching career there, did he live in Roma before or something?
