Yesterday the long-awaited renewal of Daniele De Rossi arrived. The Roma coach, who arrived last season following the dismissal of José Mourinho, has signed a contract until 2027. His impact on the Giallorossi group was excellent with a run-up that stopped a few steps away from fifth place and a Europa League semi-final won. The striker spoke about his coach in the press conference Stephan El Shaarawyinvolved with his teammates Mancini, Pellegrini and Cristante in the expedition to Germany of Luciano Spalletti’s national team:
“I am very happy with the renewal of De Rossi – began the Giallorossi striker – we immediately got on well with him and as a coach he immediately proved to be very competent and capable. We are living it well, we are a really good group who have fun and knows how to stay together.”
Were you thinking of playing a little more?
“These are choices that the coach makes, Mancini has always been used to playing with Roma, like Bryan and Lorenzo, and everyone trains hard. The choices are made by the coach, we are training hard waiting for the call. This is a very serious and professional group.”
