Roma have parted ways with manager Daniele De Rossi after a disappointing start to the 2024/2025 season.
The club made the announcement in a statement, citing the need to “quickly return to the desired path” while there is still time to salvage the season.
De Rossi, a former Roma player, took over as interim manager in 2023, replacing José Mourinho. Although he was handed a new three-year contract in June 2024, his stint has been abruptly cut short after just four games into the new season. Under his leadership, Roma struggled with one loss and three draws.
The club expressed its gratitude for De Rossi’s “passion and dedication” during his time as head coach.
Roma emphasized that De Rossi “will always have a home at the Giallorossi Club,” acknowledging his deep connection to the team as both a player and manager.
This swift managerial change comes as Roma aims to turn its fortunes around and move up the league standings. The decision underscores the intense expectations and pressure that come with managing a top-tier Italian club.
Roma has yet to announce De Rossi’s replacement, and how this shift will impact the team’s prospects for the rest of the season remains to be seen, hinging largely on who takes over the role.
