Roma has announced that Italian coach Daniele De Rossi has signed a new contract with the club until 2027. This news comes as a reward for his impressive work as Jose Mourinho’s replacement. De Rossi took over as interim boss when Mourinho was sacked in January and managed to revitalize the team, leading them to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
Despite finishing last season in sixth place in Serie A, outside of the Champions League positions, De Rossi’s impact was noticeable and promising. His success at Roma has been a pleasant surprise, considering he only held a managerial role at lower-league SPAL before taking on this role. The former Roma captain and Italy international is revered by fans for his passionate style of play and connection to the club as a local boy who made it big.
Having won many trophies during his playing career with Roma, including a World Cup title in 2006, De Rossi has solidified his place as a legend at the club alongside fellow icon Francesco Totti. This new contract extension will undoubtedly give him more time to continue making an impact on the team and cementing his legacy in Rome.
