AS Roma revealed this Tuesday the identity of José Mourinho’s successor. A name that leaves no one indifferent in Italy.
Roma fans will remember this winter day for a long time. The Italian club completely turned its organization chart upside down in the space of a few hours.
The first announcement came at the end of the morning, and it had the effect of a small bomb since José Mourinho was dismissed from his post following the poor results of the Giallorossi. Despite the first European title in the club’s history, the Special One seemed to have run out of resources to turn things around.
It did not take long for the identity of his replacement to be revealed. And the Roma board made a very strong choice since it bet on Daniele De Rossi. A true legend of the club, the former Italian midfielder spent his entire football career at Roma, where he established himself as the eternal lieutenant of the illustrious Francesco Totti.
L’AS Roma has announced that Daniele De Rossi will be appointed new Head of the Primary Squad until 30 August 2024.
Welcome to your home, Daniele! 💛❤️
