AS Roma cannot live with a mid-table role in Serie A. Coach José Mourinho must leave the Italian capital. Subsequently, Romelu Lukaku’s team announced that club icon Daniele De Rossi has signed a contract until the end of the season.
José Mourinho is no longer the manager of AS Roma. Sunday’s league defeat away to Milan (3-1) was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Halfway through the competition, Roma are only 9th in the Serie A standings. In the Europa League the club had to settle for second place in the group, behind Slavia Prague.
These are not the results the Italian capital has in mind. After 2.5 years, Roma bid farewell to Mourinho, who won a prize – the Conference League in the 2021-2022 season. At the end of last season, the Europa League final was lost to Sevilla in Budapest.
Immediate change is needed.

“At AS Roma we want to thank José Mourinho for the passion and commitment he has always shown,” said the owners of the American club Dan and Ryan Friedkin.
“However, we believe that, in the interests of the club, an immediate change is necessary.”
It is not yet clear who should bring the team out of the doldrums.
Roma is the team of Red Devil Romelu Lukaku, who has scored 14 goals this season: 8 in Serie A, 5 in the Europa League and 1 in the Cup.

Daniele De Rossi takes over
AS Roma is turning to a well-known face to get the team back on track. Club legend Daniele De Rossi has signed a contract until the end of the season. Based on success, it will be assessed whether the agreement will be extended.
The 40-year-old De Rossi played for AS Roma for 17 years and ended his career at Boca Juniors in Argentina. From January 2022 to October he was assistant to the Italian national team.
The former midfielder held his first real coaching job at SPAL, a second division club. De Rossi also convinced, among others, Radja Nainggolan to help him, but it was not a success at all.
