AS Roma have announced the termination of manager Daniele De Rossi's contract after a winless start to the new Serie A season.
De Rossi, a club legend who captained Roma for many years as a player, was appointed as manager in 2023 after Jose Mourinho was sacked.
Despite initial optimism and a strong start under the manager, the team has struggled to maintain consistency, leading to speculation about his future.
The new campaign kicked off a few weeks ago, and the capital club have drawn three and lost one of their four Serie A matches, last failing to do so in the 2010-11 season.
Roma releases statement
The club have finally sacked him and released a statement expressing their gratitude for De Rossi's contributions to the club both as a manager.
“AS Roma announces that it has relieved Daniele De Rossi of his role as head coach of the First Team,” reads the official statement.
“The Club’s decision is adopted in the interest of the team, in order to be able to promptly resume the desired path, at a time when the season is still at its beginning.
To Daniele, who will always be at home in the Giallorossi Club, a heartfelt thank you for the work carried out in recent months with passion and dedication.
Communications on the team’s technical guidance will follow.”
The search for De Rossi's successor is already underway, with several experienced managers being linked to the position.
AS Roma fans will be eager to see who will be tasked with turning around the club's fortunes and returning them to their former glory.
