Roma sack De Rossi after four games of season without win

Serie A side, AS Roma has sacked manager Daniele de Rossi just four matches into the new Serie A season.

De Rossi was appointed manager in January to replace Jose Mourinho, who is currently at Fenerbahce in Turkey.

Roma have been unable to win any of their Serie A matches this season, drawing three and losing at home to Empoli last month.

The club is currently 16th in the Serie A standings following their 1-1 draw at Genoa on Sunday.

A club statement read: “The club’s decision is taken in the interest of the team, to be able to promptly resume the desired path at a time when the season is still at its beginning.

“To Daniele, who will always be at home in the Giallorossi club, a heartfelt thanks for the work carried out in these months with passion and dedication.”

Recall that De Rossi’s tenure at Roma started superbly. In his first 11 league matches, Roma lost just once, picking up 26 points from a possible 33. That run took Roma from ninth to fifth in the table.

They also reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, being knocked out by Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.
