AS Roma has sacked head coach Daniele De Rossi following a disappointing winless start to the 2024/2025 Serie A season, where the team has only managed to secure three points from four matches. De Rossi, who replaced José Mourinho earlier this year and had signed a contract extension until 2027 in June, faced mounting pressure due to the team's poor performance, including a recent 1-1 draw against Genoa. The decision was announced unexpectedly on Wednesday morning, echoing the circumstances of Mourinho's dismissal nine months prior, which also caught players off guard. Roma's management is now reportedly considering several potential successors, including Thomas Tuchel and Rudi Garcia. The club aims to find a replacement quickly to revive their season as they prepare for upcoming matches against Udinese and Athletico Bilbao. The club has expressed gratitude to De Rossi for his dedication but deemed the change necessary for the team's best interests.
