AS Roma have dismissed head coach Daniele De Rossi following a winless start to the Serie A season.
The club announced the decision on Wednesday after the team failed to secure a victory in their first four league games.
De Rossi, a former Roma player who spent nearly 20 years with the club, took over as head coach in January following the departure of Jose Mourinho.
He had signed a contract extension through 2027 just this past June.
In a statement, Roma said, “Daniele De Rossi is no longer serving as head coach of the first team.
This decision is aimed at putting the team back on track as quickly as possible during the early part of the season.”
Roma drew 1-1 with Genoa over the weekend after conceding a late equaliser, leaving them with only three points from their first four matches.
Their next game is against Udinese on Sunday.
