With the present roster, breaking into the top 4 appears unlikely. Although De Rossi's fresh perspective is always useful, its doubtful that he can compete with Fiorentina and Atalanta, who have demonstrated more consistency. A top 5 finish seems more realistic, but it wont be easy. De Rossi took a big risk, and time will tell if it pays off.
And what cannot be avoided is the fact that Jose Mourinho has been fired by the AS Roma club board. For the club there is nothing to regret, especially if the decision has been taken and the decision has become a joint decision. except for the unilateral decision made by AS Roma due to internal problems. but so far, only rumors are circulating and there is no justification for the news or gossip. in principle, the Club still has to continue what they have to do in its interests, regardless of whether Moriunho is there or not. the club will still exist, and coaches will come and go. If AS Roma dares to take the step of replacing Mounho with De Rossi, it means they are quite prepared for the consequences they will face later. after all, with Mourinho's wealth of experience, he was unable to bring AS Roma into the top four of Serie A during his time as head coach. every season, AS Roma experiences a decline. as for entering the Europa League final, as we know. that there are some matches that are not worth enjoying. Now the coaching chair has changed, and De Rossi has taken over the responsibility of becoming head coach.
To be honest, I don't know the flying hours of this coach, let alone the achievements he has. however, it seems that many of the comments have doubts about this coach. For me, that's natural, because he hasn't been able to prove anything other than winning his first debut with his team to overthrow Verona. What's wrong, let's just give it a chance, especially for AS Roma fans. even if he doesn't meet expectations, the club will immediately replace him. one more thing, I'm sure the club management will not put the burden on De Rossi to target finishing in the top four of the Serie A standings. Moreover, he is an inexperienced coach. If Mourinho is the only one who has the difficult experience of bringing Roma to a top four finish, what about De Rossi. I am sure the club management knows and is aware of this. however, that doesn't mean he's incapable. whatever the decision, Roma has entrusted the coaching chair to the Italian coach. so, let's just follow developments. whether it is possible or not, we will find out as soon as possible.
