“AS Roma announces that Daniele De Rossi has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the first team.
The club's decision is made in the best interests of the team, to get back on the desired path as soon as possible at a time when the season is still in its early stages.”
https://www.asroma.com/en/news/71904/club-statementThe love for De Rossi from Roma's bosses did not last long and as a result of a bad start to the season, after 4 games Roma have only 3 points, but the strangest thing for me is not the news that De Rossi will not do well, it was clear after Mourinho's dismissal, because it became clear that the Roma management has little idea of the club's capabilities.
It's also not clear why De Rossi's 90 million transfers were made and then he was sacked after only 4 games. Again strange behavior of the Roma management.
What about Roma players like Dovbic who trusted De Rossi and joined the club or players like Dybala who didn't go to Saudi Arabia but decided to stay at Roma?
This is indeed a very strange handling of the situation. Maybe one reason was that De Rossi, after doing so well when he took over from Mourinho, messed up a little bit towards the end of the season when he was only able to gather 5 points out of the last 5 games. Otherwise he would have almost made it into the Champions League after Mourinho couldn't get the job done for Roma.
But now as you said, spending 90 million on transfers and then sack him after four games, what are they going to do next? At least De Rossi was someone the fans could identify with. I would have given him at least 8-10 games. No doubt that this start into the season was crap, but it is not as if they got destroyed in the league. They didn't lose against Juventus away from home and they didn't concede a ton of goals. They were superior against Cagliari and Empoli had a damn lucky day. Roma fired 27 shots against them, but could only score once. That doesn't happen all season long, it was most likely an exception. Roma was on eye-level against Juventus.
Yes three points after four games is not enough, but I would always consider how these results came about and it's not as if Roma would be without chances this season. But now I am curious who will be the new coach. What can they even do after trying out Mourinho and De Rossi?
