In a surprising shake-up within AS Roma, head coach Ivan Juric recently addressed the team’s reaction to Daniele De Rossi’s sudden dismissal. This announcement has stirred both emotions and questions about leadership within the club, especially as Roma tries to balance recovery and competitive spirit in Serie A.
When De Rossi left, he was more than a coach; he was a club icon. His departure affected the players profoundly, particularly captain Lorenzo Pellegrini. According to Juric, Pellegrini was deeply moved, having felt a strong connection to De Rossi, a sentiment he shared with his new coach early on. Juric emphasized the importance of recognizing this emotional bond, as it reveals the depth of loyalty and camaraderie within the team, traits he is eager to harness as Roma moves forward.
After securing a strong win against Udinese, Juric pointed to his players’ resilience, suggesting that the emotional blow might ultimately galvanize the team. The 3-0 victory illustrated their willingness to channel their feelings into powerful gameplay. Juric hopes that by prioritizing a supportive atmosphere and clear communication, he can preserve and even strengthen the team’s unity and passion for Roma.
Juric’s own connection with the players has grown swiftly, partly because he has honored the loyalty they felt toward De Rossi. This approach has already endeared him to the team and has the potential to shape the season positively, even as Roma faces fierce competition ahead
