On April 18, Beijing time, according to the official announcement of Roma, De Rossi will continue to serve as the coach of the team after the end of this season, and more details will be announced in the next few days, which means that De Rossi, who has led the team for only three months, has officially ushered in a positive turnaround, which is undoubtedly good news for Roma who aims to impact the Champions League seat.
Roma was originally the coach Mourinho in the past 2 years, Mourinho led the team to win the UEFA Cup and reached the Europa League final, but unfortunately last season because of the controversial penalty, Roma did not win the European championship for 2 consecutive years; In the 20th round of Serie A in January this year, Roma lost to AC Milan, and Mourinho was officially sacked.
Then De Rossi was appointed as the new coach of Rome in danger, before De Rossi only coached in Serie B, and the results of leading the team were not outstanding, coupled with the lack of experience in the first team, the outside world thought that De Rossi's "rookie" coach was just a transitional choice for Rome. However, De Rossi led the team to a good run of results, winning six of his first seven league games, only losing to Inter Milan at the top of the table, beating Brighton in the knockout rounds of the Europa League, and successfully avenging AC Milan in the first leg of the Europa League last eight.
In the three months of coaching, De Rossi led the team to 16 games, with 11 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses; in the second half of the season, he scored 26 points in the league and ranked 4th in Serie A, ranking from 9th to 5th, which also directly won the affirmation of the Roma leadership; De Rossi also officially ushered in the opportunity to become a regular. At present, Roma have one game less, and they are still five points away from Bologna in fourth, but because Serie A currently ranks first in the five major leagues in European points, as long as Fiorentina, Roma and Atalanta can qualify for the European semi-finals, Serie A will be able to get an additional Champions League place next season.
It is undeniable that De Rossi's coaching resume cannot be compared with his predecessor Mourinho, and De Rossi's future complete coaching career may not even be compared with Mourinho in terms of honors and achievements, but as a legend of Roma, De Rossi has proved that he is more suitable for the current Roma team. Roma's choice to make an official announcement at this time is also in the hope of stabilizing the army's morale at the last moment of the season and sprinting to the big goal of Champions League qualification.
