Jose Mourinho did his thing, ingratiating himself with the fans, but it increasingly seems like time is slowly but surely catching up with him. The arrival of Daniele De Rossi showed everyone what true loyalty looks like. And also how to deliver results. Since the January return of the former captain, now in the role of head coach, Roma has won 11 out of 16 matches, drawn three, and lost only two. Unsurprisingly, owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin had no doubts when it came to deciding to continue the collaboration.🚨 | ‼️ OFFICIAL: Daniele De Rossi will extend his contract with Roma. #ASRoma pic.twitter.com/CDRC1lngOs— Italian Football News 🇮🇹 (@footitalia1) April 18, 2024 The love between De Rossi and Roma’s fans is sincere and strong. The Friedkin brothers are smart enough to accept it as a quality rather than a challenge to their authority. Therefore, when it comes to De Rossi, it’s nothing but superlatives.“After meeting yesterday afternoon with Daniele De Rossi, we are delighted to announce he will continue as Head Coach of AS Roma after this season and for the foreseeable future. In his short tenure as Head Coach, the positive impact that his leadership has brought to the entire club has told its own story. Daniele leads with respect and courage, while his strength and deep-rooted belief in the club are truly aligned with Roma’s values, city and unparalleled fans. We will continue to work together as hard as we possibly can to deliver a future that AS Roma’s fans deserve. We couldn’t be happier to build a long-term project with Daniele. Further details to follow in the coming days” reads the statement from the owners.UEL: Roma are aware that entire AC Milan’s season depends on tonight’s battleDaniele’s coaching story at the Olimpico is just at the beginning. How long will it last? No one can say for sure. The only thing everyone at Roma knows is that somehow—it feels good. And it works. So much so that now everyone is convinced that Roma couldn’t have made a better choice after parting ways with Mourinho. Especially not for a salary of €400,000, as stipulated in his old contract. That is true, with rich bonuses if you qualify for the Champions League. In Serie A, Bologna is four points ahead, with six more rounds to go until the end of the season. In the Europa League, there’s a rematch with Milan, at home, with a 1-0 advantage from the first leg. Mourinho brought them the Conference League trophy, but can De Rossi take them one step further? It seems that the club believes he can. It’s no coincidence that the news of the extension of their collaboration was announced just before the second match against AC Milan.UEFA EUROPA LEAGUEQuarterfinals – second legThursday22:00: (4.80) Atalanta (3.90) Liverpool (1.70)22:00: (3.80) West Ham (3.60) Leverkusen (2.05)22:00: (2.45) Olympique Marseille (3.50) Benfica (3.00)22:00: (3.00) Roma (3.45) Milan (2.50)***odds are subject to change***
