Roma CEO Resigns Amid Fan Backlash

Lina Souloukou has resigned as CEO of AS Roma amidst turmoil following the dismissal of club legend Daniele De Rossi, which has provoked outrage among fans. Reports indicate that the decision to fire De Rossi was influenced by disagreements between him and Souloukou, particularly regarding player transfers and contract discussions. In response to escalating tensions, including threats against her and her children, Souloukou has been placed under a form of police protection. The unrest among fans has led to protests, with calls for a rally against the club's management ahead of Roma's upcoming match against Udinese. Ivan Juric has been appointed as De Rossi's replacement, but he faces a challenging debut with the fanbase in discontent. The situation has highlighted a rift between the club's management and its supporters, complicating the team's early season struggles.
