Those are actually my words as I said that De Rossi can't have changed the team entirely within no time and for the time being the only thing that counts will be the results because Roma must somehow try to qualify for something. I think the Europa League is the smallest goal they have while the Champions League, in my opinion, would be too much for them. Even if they qualify I don't see how they would have a chance to reasonably compete with most of the other teams next year, but who knows.
But since the season still has so many games to go, it can't be about the results only because playing for results only will lead to failure at some point. They need to improve their game on almost all positions and this is what the club leadership wants to see and this is also why De Rossi has a contract that will expire in Summer unless he does sufficiently well to qualify for an extension.
Roma should have been aware that De Rossi need time to transform the team. It would be unfair to expect immediate and drastic changes under De Rossi. Competing at the highest level requires a well-rounded and competitive squad. Relying solely on results might lead to short-term gains but may not be sustainable in the long run. Developing a more cohesive and effective style of play is essential for sustained success, and it's positive that the club leadership recognizes this by evaluating De Rossi's performance beyond just immediate results.
The contract structure with an extension based on performance adds a layer of accountability that motivates both the coach and the team to work towards long-term improvement. With many games left in the season, there's ample opportunity for De Rossi to implement changes and for the team to showcase progress both in results and the quality of their gameplay.
