I dont think Roma should put a significant target for De Rossi to achieve. The limited timeframe of 6 months does present a significant challenge for De Rossi to fully showcase his coaching abilities and make substantial changes to the team's playing strategy. Adapting to a new role as a coach and implementing changes within such a short period, especially against strong opponents like Inter Milan, can indeed be a daunting task.
A clear and effective playing strategy is crucial for a team's success, and if implemented successfully, it could contribute to Roma's improvement in the long term. De Rossi may need to consider a complete overhaul of Roma's playing strategy demonstrates an awareness of the need for bold and decisive actions to bring about positive changes. Transfers can be pivotal in shaping the team according to the coach's vision. Utilizing the transfer window to bring in quality players aligns with the idea that strengthening the squad with strategic signings can have a significant impact on the team's performance. But I doubt De Rossi will have previllege to sign any player he wants to execute his plan, remembering Mourinho faced that isssue in the past.
Roma are a good side. Their manager Mourinho has some kind of special ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts.
Although their performance against teams in the league didn't fully get good commendation but still they tried to secure the points to themselves. The European competition would definitely favour them, they only need to strive to win a ticket. Good thing also that their striker is at his peak performance and he's always capable of delivering the team to victory in dire moments. I'd admit that the team and manager are very much compatible maybe it's the resonance that's natural or maybe Mourinho's great coaching ability at work but at the moment, the situation in the team is in safe hands and patiently and gently, they'd stride to the spots they want to be.
