Il Corriere dello Sport reports that Roma players are unhappy about Daniele De Rossi’s sacking, and two dressing room leaders, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Gianluca Mancini, had a ‘confrontation’

AS Roma fired Daniele De Rossi just four games into the Serie A season after picking up just three points. De Rossi had a contract through 2027.

Roma fired coach Daniele De Rossi on Wednesday in a move that was surprising despite the Giallorossi going winless in their opening four Italian league matches. De Rossi, a former Roma captain, was hired in January to replace the fired Jose Mourinho and impressed so much during the second half of last season that he was given a contract extension in June through 2026-27.
