De Rossi replaces sacked Mourinho at Roma
Daniele De Rossi who has limited coaching experience was appointed the new Roma coach after Jose Mourinho was sacked, the Serie A club said on Tuesday.
The 40-year-old former Italy midfielder returns to his hometown club where he spent almost his entire playing career.
“AS Roma are pleased to confirm that Daniele De Rossi has been appointed as head coach until 30 June 2024,” said Roma in a statement.
De Rossi takes over at Roma hours after Mourinho’s sudden sacking, which was announced on Tuesday morning following a disappointing third season in the Italian capital.
