Roma officially announced that De Rossi will continue to be the team's coach this season and in the foreseeable future! After Mourinho's resignation, Roma briefly signed De Rossi for transition, and the media revealed that the goal for De Rossi was to obtain the Champions League qualification place for the new season! Now, the dream has come true, and as long as Roma does not fall off a cliff, it will basically lock in the Champions League qualification place for the new season.
De Rossi renewed his contract, Mourinho is too difficult
Jose Mourinho stepped down, and in January this year, Roma announced that De Rossi was appointed as the team's manager, a term that will run until June 30, 2024. De Rossi has led the team to 16 games, and his performance is remarkable!Roma officials said that after the meeting with De Rossi, we are happy to announce that he will continue to be the head coach of Roma until the end of the season and into the future!
De Rossi made 616 appearances for Roma as a player, the second-highest appearance record for the club, and is one of Roma's legends. De Rossi has won 11 of his 16 games in charge of Roma, cementing Roma's strong position in the league.
Mourinho did not have much problem coaching Roma, although Roma slipped in the league rankings at that time, but it was inseparable from the devil's schedule! Mourinho was even looking forward to renewing his contract with Roma, but he was tragically fired, which also became the biggest difficulty for Roma fans. The relationship between Mourinho and the Serie A referee, as well as the press conference repeatedly pressured the Roma management to bring in reinforcements, commenting that Roma's squad is not enough to play in the Champions League, may be the root cause of his inability to cooperate with American capital for a long time.
The Red Wolves basically locked up the Champions League, or became the first beneficiaries of the Champions League expansion
The Champions League has been expanded from the round of 32 to the round of 36, and UEFA has given the top five leagues the first and second leagues in terms of European points! Serie A teams have accumulated a lot of European points due to their excellent performance in the Champions League and Europa League last season, and they are currently ranked first, far ahead! The Bundesliga ranks second and the Premier League ranks third! As the Bundesliga two men advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League, the Premier League was wiped out in the Champions League, and it is almost certain that the two Champions League qualification places in the new season will be given to Serie A and the Bundesliga!
Serie A and Bundesliga previously had four league places, and now, they only need to get fifth in the league to participate in the Champions League in the new season! At present, Roma ranks fifth in Serie A with 55 points, and Bologna ranks fourth in Serie A with 59 points! Before that, there are still many variables in Rome's rush to the fourth, but now it is not difficult to keep five!
In addition, UEFA stipulates that a maximum of six teams in a league will participate in the Champions League! This also means that if the Serie A teams currently competing in one-quarter of the Europa League can win the championship, it will also be beneficial to Roma! There are three Serie A teams in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, and if Roma wins, 100% of the Champions League qualification places will be locked; if AC Milan wins the Europa League, Roma only needs to rank in the top six of the league to participate in the Champions League in the new season; if Atalanta finally wins the championship and ranks in the top five in the league, the sixth place in the Roma league can also qualify for the Champions League.
De Rossi renewed his contract and looked forward to setting sail with a double kill against AC Milan
Roma, who are strong and stable, do not want to enter the Champions League in the new season, unless they suffer consecutive defeats in the last few games of the league, otherwise the Champions League qualification places for the new season are already in the bag! De Rossi renewed his contract, and Roma has a promising future. In the last three years, one UEFA Europa League title, one Europa League final and this year they have reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League, Roma are on the right path.
In the first leg of the Europa League 1/4 finals, Roma defeated AC Milan 1-0 to win the first chance to advance! On April 19, Roma will fight AC Milan again, after Inter Milan has basically locked the Serie A championship, AC Milan must have no reservations in the Europa League, De Rossi is looking forward to killing Milan twice and leading the Red Wolves Roma to the semi-finals! Roma wants to advance, just remain unbeaten in the second leg! Let's wait and see.
