Roma idol De Rossi succeeds sacked Mourinho
Daniele De Rossi began a new adventure at Roma on Tuesday as the World Cup winner took over at his boyhood club following the sudden sacking of Jose Mourinho.
The former Italy midfielder, who spent almost the entirety of his playing career at Roma, signed a deal "until 30 June 2024" with the Serie A club hours after Mourinho was dismissed.
"I know no other way but dedication, daily sacrifices, and giving everything I have in order to face the challenges that await us from now until the end of the season," said De Rossi in a statement.
"The excitement of being able to sit on our bench is indescribable. Everyone knows what Roma means to me."
AS Roma are pleased to confirm that Daniele De Rossi has been appointed as head coach until 30 June 2024.
Welcome home, Daniele!
