AS Roma appointed the former Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi as the new coach until the end of the season (June 30, 2024) on Tuesday 16 January 2024 after sacking coach José Mourinho. Roma are down in the 9th position with only 29 points compared to Inter in the 1st position with 51 points. De Rossi played 18 years for Roma between 2001 and 2019. De Rossi made 616 appearances in all competitions for Roma. De Rossi was capped 117 times for the Italian National team scoring 21 goals.
The question is whether De Rossi has “an effective strategy” to help Roma. De Rossi made over 600 appearances with Roma. The fact is that De Rossi has very limited coaching experience. De Rossi’s experience includes coaching Serie B team SPAL, who sacked him on 14 February 2023, after only 3 wins in 16 games. De Rossi previously worked as an Assistant Coach on Roberto Mancini’s Italy team which won the 2020 European Championships. The point is that a pure heart is not enough. Nevertheless, let’s wish De Rossi the best of luck to help the Giallorossi.

AS Roma are pleased to confirm that Daniele De Rossi has been appointed as head coach until 30 June 2024.
👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Week 20 RESULTS / Twentieth Round on Saturday 13, Sunday 14, and Monday 15 January 2024. Inter are the absolute leaders with 51 points followed by Juventus with 49 points in the second position.
Inter crushed Monza with a 1-5 at the U-Power Stadium. Inter are just ruling big time. It seems Inter are unstoppable commanding the league. Juventus keeping up the race for the Scudetto after defeating Sassuolo with a 3-0. The gap is just -2 points below. Everything can happen.
Milan beat Roma and are at 42 in the standings, nine points behind leaders Inter but nine points behind fifth-placed Lazio. Roma instead wasted a chance to get closer to fourth place, slipping five points behind Fiorentina. Surely, a week to forget for Mourinho’s men, eliminated in the Italian Cup by Lazio and defeated this evening.
The bad news is for Napoli struggling to defend their title. Napoli, despite their victory against Salernitana, stepped down to the 7th position with 31 points. Bologna lost the game against Cagliari, though, are in the 6th position with 32 points. Cagliari gained momentum because the victory helped them to abandon the relegation zone.
The relegation zone is hot and the situation can change next week. Frosinone and Sassuolo have 19 points each. Udinese and Cagliari have 18 points each. Hellas Verona are in the 18th position with 17 points.
Atalanta with a brilliant performance crushed Frosinone with a mega goleada 5-0 at the Gewiss Stadium. Koopmeiners opened the score from eleven meters in the 8th minute, then in the 13th minute, it was Ederson who converted Ruggeri’s precise cross, followed by De Ketelaere’s powerful conclusion in the 14th minute which he sent the ball under the crossbar, making the most of Marten De Roon’s through ball. In the 83rd minute, the poker, an effective change of play by Pasalic who catches Zappacosta, then perfect control from the substitute winger who beats Turati with an effective shot. In the 90th minute, it is Holm who signs the 5-0.

Roma fans were just wondering what was happening to the team doing so poorly. Roma was also out of the Coppa Italia after being eliminated by Lazio. Simply put, Roma have won only 8 games , 5 draws, and 7 lost. It seems the mission is now to get back to the winning path and try to make a comeback to climb towards the European qualification.
In a statement, AS Roma owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin commented: “We would like to thank Jose on behalf of all of us at AS Roma for his passion and efforts since his arrival at the club.”
“We will always have great memories of his tenure at Roma, but we believe that an immediate change is in the best interests of the club. We wish Jose and his assistants all the best in their future endeavours.’
Mourinho joined Roma in May 2021 and spent two-and-a-half years. Mourinho led Roma to the Europa Conference League title in 2022 when they beat Feyenoord. This was the club’s first European trophy since 1961. Another accomplishment was tuiding Roma to the Europa League final last season, sadly they were defeated by Sevilla on penalties.
AS Roma are pleased to confirm that Daniele De Rossi has been appointed as head coach until 30 June 2024.
