Roma managed to beat Lazio in the Roman derby and if Juve now fails to beat Fiorentina tomorrow evening in the away match it will be painful for the Turin people.
in the last 10 games they have lost 16 points from Roma, a big change on the bench for them, firing Mourinho and hiring De Rossi have completely changed their season.
In fact, sending Mourinho off the team was a big risk because he was a very experienced coach. He won the conference league and made Rome a finalist in the European league. That's why Roma made a risky choice and appointed De Rossi as the head of the team. It seems that this change was appropriate and Rome is doing very well this year.
It actually appear like a bad decision when Roma sacked Jose Mourinho but if you look at it carefully, you will realise that the management's were looking at the results. Football is not based of past glories, it is business that present results is very vital for decision making. Just unfortunate that despite sacking Mourinho, the situation did not change much. Now that it is looking like they might not scale through to the championship spot, they can just concentrate in getting a spot at the Europa. Their one zero win against Lazio is actually a good one.
It wasn't a mistake at all. De Rosso collected 26 points in 11 Serie A games. That is an average of around 2.4 points per game. Just think about how this season would go for Roma if they had that average all season long. They would be at 74 points now. I know you can just apply simple maths here and then say that this is what it would be looking like, but I think looking at how Roma has been doing while being coached by Mourinho and how they have been doing afterwards, it is quite evident that De Rossi was able to change a few things for the better. Under Mourinho they got 29 points in 20 games! Is this what Roma should be aiming for?
The change was done at the right time and I know that some people thought Mourinho should get the chance until the end of the season, but the results now speak for themselves.
