AS Roma Sacks Coach Daniele De Rossi

AS Roma has sacked head coach Daniele De Rossi after a winless start to the 2024-25 Serie A season, where the team managed only three points from four matches. Despite leading Roma to a sixth-place finish and the Europa League semi-finals last season, De Rossi's tenure was cut short amid off-field tensions and poor early-season performance. Key players such as Paulo Dybala and former sporting director Walter Sabatini have publicly criticized the decision, calling it unfair and unacceptable. Roma's owners, Dan and Ryan Friedkin, have remained silent on the matter since acquiring the club. Ivan Jurić, former Torino manager, has been appointed as the new head coach with a contract running until June next year, potentially extendable based on performance. The team hopes to get back on track starting with their next match against Udinese.
