This is the lowest such ratio among the managers to ever oversee 50+ matches with the Giallorossi in the three-points-per-win era (since 1994\/95).<\/p>\n<p>Mourinho&#8217;s dismissal opened the door for De Rossi&#8217;s return. A graduate of the club&#8217;s academy, De Rossi made over 450 appearances for Roma in Serie A between 2001 and 2019, though his professional career would end with Boca Juniors.<\/p>\n<p>De Rossi will oversee Roma&#8217;s first team until the end of the season. This will be his second managerial job after Serie B side SPAL hired the former defensive midfielder last season (they sacked him after just three wins in 17).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"it\" dir=\"ltr\">Il primo allenamento sotto la guida di Daniele De Rossi \u00e8 appena iniziato ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ASRoma?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ASRoma<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Oco24JJAo3\">pic.twitter.com\/Oco24JJAo3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; AS Roma (@OfficialASRoma) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OfficialASRoma\/status\/1747293868465303844?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 16, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would like to thank the Friedkin family for entrusting me with the responsibility of Roma\u2019s head coach role.
