In a surprising move, Roma has decided to part ways with coach Daniele De Rossi after going winless in their first four Italian league matches.

The club has appointed Ivan Jurić, a seasoned coach with experience at Genoa, Hellas Verona, and Torino, as the replacement for De Rossi.

De Rossi, a former Roma captain, took over as head coach in January and had his contract extended through the 2026-27 season after an impressive second half of last season.

Roma expressed gratitude towards De Rossi for his dedication and passion, stating that he will always be a part of the Giallorossi family.

The club is focused on getting back on track early in the season and is preparing to face Serie A leader Udinese this weekend.

This decision marks the first coaching change in Serie A this season, as Roma seeks to improve its performance after a slow start.

De Rossi’s departure comes as Roma struggles to find its attacking form, scoring just two goals in their first four matches.

Next up, Roma will face Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League, aiming to turn their season around and showcase their talent on the European stage.

The departure of Romelu Lukaku and the decision to retain Paulo Dybala highlight the unpredictable nature of Roma’s American owners, Dan and Ryan Friedkin.
