Mon Sep 23 17:39:10 UTC 2024: ## Roma Owners Thank De Rossi, Open Door for Future Return Amidst Club Chaos
**Rome, Italy** – The Friedkin Group, owners of AS Roma, have released a statement expressing gratitude to club legend Daniele De Rossi following his dismissal as head coach last week. While acknowledging the difficult decision, the statement also hinted at a potential future return for the former midfielder.
“We have the utmost respect for Daniele and believe he will have a great career as a coach,” the statement read. “Maybe even one day back at Roma.”
De Rossi’s departure sparked a week of turmoil at the Stadio Olimpico, with fans expressing anger and frustration over the lack of communication from club management. This was further amplified by the subsequent appointment of Ivan Juric as head coach and the resignation of former CEO Lina Souloukou.
The Friedkin Group, operating without a CEO at the moment, addressed the situation by thanking De Rossi and emphasizing their belief in his coaching potential. The statement also underscored the difficult decision behind his dismissal, which was made “with the belief that it gives us the best opportunity to compete for trophies this season.”
The future of De Rossi at Roma remains uncertain, but the owners’ statement leaves the door open for a possible return in the future, offering a glimmer of hope for the passionate fans who have seen their club navigate a turbulent period.
