The shock was moderate when it was announced that Jose Mourinho was sacked as Roma coach. The decision didn’t come out of the blue for anybody who is familiar with AC Roma’s results. It was a typical Mourinho’s third year in charge in some club, when everything goes south, especially the results, and he ends up being sacked. The bigger surprise was the appointment – Daniele De Rossi. Former Giallorossi captain is a product of Roma Academy and played 616 games at a senior level with Roma as a footballer, scoring 63 goals. His loyalty and fan popularity are not in question, but his modest experience as a manager is.Capello blasts American owners over Mourinho and Maldini sackingBut his former Italy teammate Gigi Buffon believes that this obstacle is not so big and that De Rossi just couldn’t say ‘no’ to Roma’s call.There could not be a better choice for Roma at such a moment. It’s a smart move. It’s a beautiful, fascinating and perhaps a bit risky adventure, like those I liked. I’ve almost always based my decisions on emotions and courage. I liked to prove myself and the same goes for Daniele. When you already know the environment well, you are already a step forward. Of course, more is needed, but Daniele is a special man and it’s an important chance for him” said Buffon to Gazzetta.Shakava hopes Gor Mahia doesn’t run broke againHis former teammate will now take the reigns, and Buffon knows it’s a risky task, considering De Rossi’s light experience as a coach, but on the other side, a call from Roma is not something you can ignore or refuse. “It’s hard to say no. Daniele has gained a little experience already, and if you are convinced that you can handle a certain pressure, then most of the job is done. The most difficult part in Rome is managing the emotional part” said Buffon.##NAJAVA_MECA_7805364##
