Initially, many people were certainly shocked by AS Roma management's decision to fire Mourinho and replace him with De Rossi. If you think more deeply, the actions taken by Roma management are indeed very risky. The reason is, AS Roma management changed coaches in the middle of the season, which of course would be very risky for performance stability. Apart from that, AS Roma players will definitely need time to adapt to the new coach. Because of this, many parties, especially AS Roma fans, doubted De Rossi when he occupied the AS Roma coaching chair.
But in fact De Rossi erased all doubts in the minds of many people, especially AS Roma fans. The reason is that after AS Roma was coached by De Rossi, AS Roma continued to experience a significant increase in ranking in Serie A. And currently AS Roma is ranked 5th in Serie A. So when compared when AS Roma was coached by Mourinho and when coached by De Rossi, the difference looks quite significant . But that doesn't mean Mourinho is a bad coach. Because after all, Mourinho is a very great coach and is known to many people on the world football scene.
Maybe Mourinho experienced failure at AS Roma, because Mourinho and his players did not have good chemistry. So during training sessions or during matches, AS Roma players may feel uncomfortable being coached by Mourinho. Well, that's most likely the reason Mourinho failed to bring AS Roma to success.
And it's true, AS Roma now has a very big chance of qualifying for the Champions League (UCL). The most important thing is that AS Roma just needs to be consistent in every match they play in Serie A (they must always win). Because AS Roma is now only 3 points different from Bologna, which is ranked 4th in Serie A. So the point is that AS Roma should not waste this golden opportunity.
The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves. De Rossi just came and should be given time to show himself.
They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be a bit difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament. Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited.
They played away to Monza weeks ago and the game outcome actually went in their favor. They were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen. The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well adds to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Milan.
