Daniele De Rossi Signs Back To AS Roma

JAKARTA - Daniele De Rossi signaled that he would return to support AS Roma after the sacking of Ivan Juric after the defeat against Bologna 2-3 at the Olimpico on Sunday, November 10, 2024.

De Rossi responded to the condition of his former club. He said that being fired was part of the job as a coach.

The 41-year-old coach also threw a signal that he might return to the Olimpico.

As is known, De Rossi had time to cross AS Roma in January 2024 with a contract until 2027.

However, on September 18, 2024 he was kicked out by a club and replaced by Ivan Juric who turned out to only last about two months.

Because he still has a contract with AS Roma, De Rossi is associated with the possibility of returning to the dressing room even though he is only one of the potential candidates from several names that have emerged.

Speaking at the 12th Italian Football Hall of Fame at Coverciano's training ground, where he received an award for the Italian Footballer category, De Rossi said he would return to Trigoria, AS Roma's training camp despite not mentioning what role he would play.

"Never again in Trigoria? I never said that," De Rossi was quoted as saying by Tuttomercatoweb.

"Outside of the dynamics, both as a player and as a coach, dismissal is part of the job."

"That place is like home to me. My dad also works there. I spend more time in Trigoria."

"So, just like I'm back in Coverciano (the headquarters of the Italian Football Federation's central and technical exercises), I'm also going back to Trigoria," said De Rossi again.

Despite having a short term as AS Roma Manager, Daniele De Rossi is one of the names that allows the Giallorossi to sell out tickets in many matches at the Olimpico.

De Rossi was brought in to regain the trust of supporters because of his figure as a legend of AS Roma.

AS Roma officials need De Rossi's figure after the dismissal of Jose Mourinho who apparently holds a record home game at the Olimpico with the most sold out tickets.

Jose Mourinho's presence since 2021 has actually won the full trust of supporters. However, after about three years at the Olimpico, he was expelled and made the fans furious.

Therefore, AS Roma officials brought in Daniele De Rossi to reduce the anger of supporters.

However, now the fans have again expressed their disappointment with AS Roma officials who are deemed incompetent in managing the club. In 11 months, they have changed coaches three times.
