In a joint statement, they praised his leadership qualities and his strong connection to the club’s values, city, and fans. De Rossi’s respect, courage, and unwavering belief in Roma’s potential have earned him the trust and support of the ownership.
Commitment to Roma’s Future
Although the details of De Rossi’s contract extension were not disclosed, the club’s decision to retain him as the head coach signifies a long-term commitment to his vision for Roma. With the Europa League quarterfinals still to be concluded, Roma is focused on their upcoming Serie A match against Bologna on Monday. De Rossi’s continuity as the manager instills confidence in the team’s ability to build on their recent success and compete at the highest level.
Daniele De Rossi’s appointment as Roma’s manager represents a new chapter in the club’s history. As he continues to lead the team with passion and determination, fans can expect a bright future under his guidance. The decision to extend his contract demonstrates Roma’s belief in his abilities and their desire to achieve greater success in the seasons to come.
