In February, I Giallorossi signed De Rossi to a contract until the end of the season, and they have now confirmed that they have handed an extension to the 40-year-old as they want him to stay with the club for next season and for the ‘foreseeable future’.
De Rossi replaced Jose Mourinho and took over a team that was ninth in the league rankings. Following a seven-game league unbeaten streak, Roma has risen to fifth place in the standings under the former Italy international. They have also advanced to the Europa League semi-final after beating AC Milan in the quarter-final.
Speaking ahead of the clash against Milan, De Rossi said [via RomaPress]: “The announcement? It means that I am here to stay and continue serving as Roma’s head coach. It’s also a way of saying that not everything depends on tonight. For me it’s a huge confidence boost.
“My staff and I convinced the President in 3 months and doing so before this match is a gigantic demonstration of trust. I haven’t had time to celebrate this announcement because my mind is only focused on Milan.”
Roma will now be in action when they host the in-form Bologna side in Serie A action on Monday, April 22 as they look to hunt down Thiago Motta’s side for the last Champions League spots. This development marks a significant turning point for the team, as De Rossi’s impact has been nothing short of transformative. It’s a testament to his leadership and strategic prowess that Roma has experienced such a remarkable resurgence under his guidance.
De Rossi’s vision and tactical acumen have propelled the team to new heights, and his unwavering dedication to Roma’s success is palpable. The decision to extend his contract further solidifies the club’s commitment to nurturing a bright future under his stewardship. As they prepare for the upcoming clash against the talented Bologna side, Roma’s supporters will undoubtedly be buoyed by the prospect of continued progress and the pursuit of coveted Champions League qualification.
