They just don’t understand the football business, do they, those Americans? And they repeat the same mistakes at Chelsea, Manchester United, Lyon, Roma…Daniele de Rossi is the last victim of that merry-go-round. On Wednesday morning, Roma boardroom sacked him “in the interest of the team”. Dan Friedkin reached for a radical move and after just four Serie A rounds dismissed the man who was said not so long ago to enjoy the maximum confidence of the executives. Just three months after being handed a contract extension through to 2027, De Rossi is fired.Dovbyk finally scores but Roma is still winlessHis mission at Olimpico ended after exactly 30 games. He arrived last season when the Friedkins needed to put out the fire after parting with Jose Mourinho. The former Roma midfielder stabilized the team and qualified for the Europa League. However, at the beginning of the new championship with him at the helm, the Giallorossi haven’t won a single game, they’ve scored just two goals and the leadership decided it’s time for changes. Again, the victim was someone other than a coach.”I believe that I have earned the right to remain the coach. Again, if the results are lacking and they tell me to go – that’s the coach’s role,” De Rossi seemed confident after the 1-1 draw against Genoa on Sunday.Three days later, he doesn’t have to come to work.##NAJAVA_MECA_8342659##
