UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Hvdv]

jose mourinho has been officially sacked by the management of AS roma. and replaced by his former player who has no experience in coach danied de rossi. so to be able to win the europa league is clearly getting harder. strong candidates for europa league champions are still Liverpool and Bayern leverkusen. maybe AC Milan is also a strong candidate too after being thrown out of the champion league.

I also think so, there is almost no big possibility for Roma to go further like last season or even become Europa League champions this season after they fired Jose Mourinho, that's a big mistake in my opinion.
For now, we are looking at the ones with the greatest potential to become champions, perhaps Liverpool, Leverkusen and AC Milan. If there are no big surprises that happen then these 3 teams have a larger percentage compared to the other teams.

Roma sacking Jose Mourinho at this critical stage of the Europa League competition is very unfortunate considering his tactical experience in European competitions and now AS Roma may not really go any further with Danielle de Rossi because his coaching experience cannot really be measured with that of Jose Mourinho so by AS Roma's management sacking Jose Mourinho is like jeopardizing their Europa league title hopes this season so definitely, I don't see Roma going far in the competition.

I think this will be a bad experience for Rome. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think they can go any further. They may even be eliminated in this round. Daniele de Rossi is one of the legendary players of the team, but team management and football are not the same. I hope we see success from him, but there will be very difficult experiences for him in this tournament. I hope he makes the best use of the star players he has and achieves success in his tactics.

I think this is a bad decision taken by As Roma. This will not produce results either in Serie A or in the European leagues after sacking Mourinho and replacing De Rossi. Last season, Mourinho managed to take As Roma to the Europa League final even though they lost to Sevilla, but after Mourinho's dismissal in the middle of the road, I don't think As Roma's journey in the Europa League will be long, maybe in the round of 16, As Roma's journey will have to end.

I was really surprised by Mourinho's sacking. I mean he's actually a great coach. I think Roma will bring in a better coach. But it turns out they brought in De Rossi. I'm not disparaging De Rossi but I think the Roma board was hasty with this decision. They are really betting on Roma's future. I agree with you that soon Roma will leave UEL. But I think it looks like they want to focus on Serie A and improve the squad for next season. I don't think they are targeting anything this season.

Regardless of whatever decision has now been made, at this point they just need to continue what has already been done.
Firing Mou must have been full of considerations let alone replacing him with De Rosi who in fact does not have much experience in coaching a club even though he is a living legend of Rome but this is not a benchmark that he can feel successful.
Now Mou is gone and replaced by De Rosi so Roma must give their full support to the new coach in the hope that De Rosi can do well.

Honestly when I hear De Rosi I personally don't have too many expectations but when in the end he can coach well and bring improvements to the performance that Roma currently has then of course this will be a plus for a De Rosi because this is his first career coaching one of the big clubs in Europe even though he has also previously coached a club but not as big as today.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yep. History Repeats. Third season syndrome
But I don't understand why management gave the club to someone who has never coached in Serie A.
Whatever it is, the decision has been made. The Mourinho era has passed and is in the past.
Now, Let's wait to see how it goes...

Welcome home Daniele De Rossi. The new era has begun. Player, Captain, and Coach.
And I hope Roma qualifies for the next round of the UEFA Europa League.

We'll see how far Daniele De Rossi can bring AS Roma to play even better, just now that's what they need. It's not easy to continue the duties of the previous coach, especially this is in the half of the season which does not have much time to prepare everything.
They are in 9th place now, I hope he doesn't focus too much on the standings first, it would be better if he focused on improving the team's performance. They will get the standings when they can play better than now.
Half a season is a tight time, but it can be utilized very well with one note that he must provide his best strategy to make AS Roma better. Do not let AS Roma's decision to sack Mourinho be considered a wrong decision.

[KTChampions]

Mourinho has got sacked and Daniele De Rossi has been brought to Roma coach position. But the odds for Roma to win the Europa League title are still the same - 17.00. 

To tell the truth I think it is even more logical now to give Roma a chance for the title by placing a bet on them. Because if De Rossi manages to develop a solid strategy for Roma things can get much better for this team in a short time. Not only here but also in the Serie A. Maybe Roma would make use of more transfers to be better in squad quality as well but they don't have a very big transfer budget as far as I know.

But I think that the current squad is still good enough to be a serious competitor for the title.

Did you expect Roma's chances to increase? On the contrary, I think that Roma now has less chance of succeeding in any tournament and especially where there are playoffs. Roma will play with the same squad until the end of the season, there will be no transfers until the summer. I doubt that Rossi will be able to do anything, as I already wrote, he is just a temporary coach.
Plus, there is information that Mourinho’s departure will entail the departure of Dybala.

Mourinho needed more time to get Roma back on track but unfortunately it appears Roma didn't have such patience and luxury of time and they wanted almost instant results, he has been with the team since the beginning of the season so they considered it enough time to have done much better, I still trust his skills because he's experienced when it comes to European football, all that he need would have been more time and resources to build the kind of team he would have been able to work with.

De Rossi isn't as experienced as Roma and I hope considering that the management of Roma wouldn't be expecting so much from him in such a short period of time before the end of the season because he may not be able to achieve much as he may say he's got no much time before the end of the season.

Well the sack of Jose has jeopardized lots of achievements they could have probably achieved in this season. Jose has a versatile of experience in European competitions and him being out is more like Roma getting kicked out early in the competition.The mew coach yes might be good but I don’t think he has the experience of knockout stages in Europe, well I don’t think he’ll be able to do well with them. José Mourinho needed time and players but the board weren’t interested in that and got him out.

 Well its De Rossi on the wheels, another great player turn coach; let’s hope he won’t tow the part of Frank Lampard, Rooney and Gerrard and he’ll probably get something good from this Roma side just like Xabi Alonso is doing at Bayer Leverkusen currently. I doubt it though but we never can tell till it starts manifesting

The logic is that when you are on your third season for a club, you should be able to at least fight for a European competition place. Last year, when they were going for that Europa finals, we knew that they weren't even placed at that spot at the league, and only got there because they won the conference league, it is just too bad for him to be not a good league coach but a great manager for the cups.

I think it should be important to notice that Mourinho is still not a bad manager, he is just not what Roma needs right now, Roma used him for what they needed him for, and now that it's done, they are going to look for a manager that would be good for the league, and an Italian that knows the situation fits the description better.

He has done it. Roma being placed at the bottom at the early of season but mourinho has been helping the club to climb up again. It was also qualified for the play off stage of europa league as well. The reason to sack him is out of my mind. Roma did somerhing wrong and they were not aware about that. Mourinho was the best coach that can be recruited by roma ever i seen. This is the first time I have witnessed such success with Roma, surpassing any previous experiences with other coaches. Roma is roma and it has a very stupid owner. No doubt this club was always stuck.

De Rossi isn't as experienced as Roma and I hope considering that the management of Roma wouldn't be expecting so much from him in such a short period of time before the end of the season because he may not be able to achieve much as he may say he's got no much time before the end of the season.

That's my reason to reject him as a new coach but roma took him. Many fans were also feeling so bad with the decision from the club to sack mourinho out from club. I prefer to see him stay much longer.
It will be also helping the performance from the club so much. Mourinho has been also evolving the mentality from the players as well. Roma is recruiting the worst coach that never had experience in serie a.

That's strange decision from management and i can't even accept that. Roma will be failed in all of competitions soon.

[Volgastallion]

Yes i dont understand Roma coach remplacement at all, i dont find any clue in the move, you go from a top and super experienced coach as Mourinho to a new coach with 0 experience as a coach with the only support of being a star of the club when he was a player. Strange.

The good thing is we can see Mou talking more on TV and dropping facts.

Many say this is surprising with the change of coach experience to inexperience, let now the Europa League will be handled by Roma's senior player De Rossi.

So Roma's decision was so fast, maybe behind it all was not happy Mourinho was still at Roma so he immediately got rid of him.
When De Rossi is unable to bring Roma in the Europa League, I'm sure Mou will rant in many media.

Previously Napoli also fired the coach who had succeeded in giving the fans and club the long-awaited title. In fact, it is difficult for many people to accept why management fired the coach who succeeded in making them become champion candidates. The rumors circulating were almost the same as those experienced by Jose Mourinho because both of them criticized management policies in managing the club so they were disturbed by the criticism and fired him.

The next question is where Jose Mourinho will go and which team will be the place for him to coach. Likewise, for AS Roma, the arrival of a new coach who has no experience can produce much better results than Jose Mourinho and as far as I know that will be much more impossible because in terms of experience Jose Mourinho is much better.

Mourinho habit of ranting is always awaited by the media crew, usually what Mourinho says is always the top topic, that's the fact. Mourinho dismissal, which seemed to surprise everyone, certainly had a big impact on the club. Whether De Rossi is able to bring Roma to an impressive performance in the Europa League like last season, and basic things like that will be the emphasis on Roma future journey. Starting with facing Feyenoord in the Play Off round, I think Roma chances of reaching the final like last season are getting tougher because of Mourinho dismissal. If you compare Mourinho with De Rossi, it is clear that the difference in level between the two is very visible, Mourinho is much better and has much more experience in European competitions.

De Rossi certainly understands the club very well, because he is one of the club legends, but for what Mourinho inherited, De Rossi must be very grateful to him. One of them is Lukaku, I think the reason the striker is willing to go on loan to Roma is because of the Mourinho factor, and when Mourinho leaves Lukaku also has the potential to leave at the end of the season. Apart from that, there must be a strong reason why Mourinho was suddenly fired, it is reported that the Portuguese coach relationship with the club president was not harmonious.

Well, I definitely thought that they would give him a chance till the end of the season. Because for a coach to succeed, he needs a lot of time. Some coaches even need three/four years actually have good achievements with their team. But the authority of Roma definitely seems to not like the idea. Probably they have thought about the third year of Jose being with Roma. But whatever it is, at the moment it seems like a bad decision. It can definitely be turned into a good decision if they actually start performing well. But I highly doubt that they will.

I think there is no need to wait until the end of the season to prove De Rossi's failure with AS Roma because yes, at this moment many people doubt De Rossi's quality because De Rossi does not have good experience. Moreover, AS Roma's situation at this moment is not completely good and therefore, it will be very difficult for De Rossi to recover AS Roma. It seems, AS Roma has big dreams by firing Mourinho and replacing Mourinho with De Rossi and maybe, AS Roma is hoping for a miracle. But unfortunately, these high hopes will not come true at all because yes, it looks like AS Roma will be a team that will be completely doubted for the rest of this season in all competitions.

You never know with these type of coaches,they have done not so well in the past with Roma but sometimes when they get to play in an European competition it looks like they magically transform into some other coach and they start winning games,even maybe repeat another miracle,to win an European cup again after that against Feyenoord.I think De Rossi has matured a lot since the time he failed at Roma and as they say experience can beat any degree so I want to be optimistic and think that he maybe do well in this second adventure with Roma.We have to see how he will do in Europe as most probably this will be his aim rather than saving Roma from the situation they are there in the Serie A.

[Weawant]

We'll see how far Daniele De Rossi can bring AS Roma to play even better, just now that's what they need. It's not easy to continue the duties of the previous coach, especially this is in the half of the season which does not have much time to prepare everything.
They are in 9th place now, I hope he doesn't focus too much on the standings first, it would be better if he focused on improving the team's performance. They will get the standings when they can play better than now.
Half a season is a tight time, but it can be utilized very well with one note that he must provide his best strategy to make AS Roma better. Do not let AS Roma's decision to sack Mourinho be considered a wrong decision.

I as much as Daniel De Rossi have little to no time on his side before the league comes to an end, he has still got an opportunity to show how well he can perform before the season end, definitely Roma wouldn't be expecting him to get the trophy for them rather he should be able to help the team improve beyond their current form.

If Daniel Da Rossi is able to help the team get to the to five position on the table then it could be seen as a good start for home considering the fact that he came in almost very late but if he fails to get the team a bit above their present form and performance then that will be considered starting on a very poor note which doesn't make him any better than José Mourinho who just left the team in what seems like a bad shape, Rossi at this time should be more focused on his tactics to winning games because that was one of the challenges Mourinho had because all his tactics seem not to have been fitting to his players.

[tusandii]

You're right. It seems AS Roma to leave UEL soon. It is a bit impossible to see them in the final UEL again this season. It is too hurry to replace Mourinho in the middle of the competition, ideally AS Roma management should fire Mourinho when the season ends.

Even though Roma performance in Serie A is not as consistent as expected, Mourinho influence is still very big when Roma plays in European competitions. I also feel the same way, Roma progress in the Europa League will soon end because they are currently being evaluated after Mourinho departure. Roma immediately appointed De Rossi as the new coach after firing Mourinho, but it seems that Roma is not too sure about their decision to appoint De Rossi as Jose Mourinho replacement coach. He is only contracted until June and his coaching capacity is still poor in experience.

Yes, it's true that Roma doesn't look strong in Serie A, but if Roma can compete at UEL under Mourinho's coaching, there will definitely be changes, like in the case of Sevilla, which wasn't very good last season but was successful in getting the title at UEL.
Maybe this is a very wise decision for Jose Mourinho because the bad things that Roma has experienced lately are very sad because Mourinho has had a negative impact from very bad public criticism, whereas this is not Mourinho's fault but purely because Roma does not have stable finances so every time Mourinho targets players what he wants is for the management to refuse to spend too much money.
This decision definitely has something to do with all of this and Roma under De Rossi is not very convincing but we'll see if there will be any changes because even though he's not very popular yet, De Rossi is a former Roma player in the past and appointed De Rossi as Roma's head coach. I hope to get up soon but for me it's impossible.

jose mourinho has been officially sacked by the management of AS roma. and replaced by his former player who has no experience in coach danied de rossi. so to be able to win the europa league is clearly getting harder. strong candidates for europa league champions are still Liverpool and Bayern leverkusen. maybe AC Milan is also a strong candidate too after being thrown out of the champion league.

Yes and finally I crossed out Roma from the betting list as well as the list of candidates for the UEL title because Mourinho is very influential on Roma's future while Roma doesn't have great players but when Roma was still under Mourinho everything was fine but for now it is very impossible and for I think this is a period of decline for Roma because they don't have the best solution between getting quality players or getting a great coach.
I crossed Roma from the betting list and replaced Milan because it was the right choice even though the strongest candidates were Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool but Milan was still worthy of being a candidate.

Isn't that an outdated fact? The times when he was called the special one have long been over if you think about it. When he was still a coach in the Premier League there were his rivalries with Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola and then it was the fight between the special one and the others. The English media frequently made their bashings against each other a huge topic, but these days I haven't really heard a lot about him or from himself. He isn't the guy he once was. The reason is that he isn't successful anymore. He loves to make people quiet by winning, but he isn't winning and then he knows when to rather be silent.

[nurilham]

I think there is no need to wait until the end of the season to prove De Rossi's failure with AS Roma because yes, at this moment many people doubt De Rossi's quality because De Rossi does not have good experience. Moreover, AS Roma's situation at this moment is not completely good and therefore, it will be very difficult for De Rossi to recover AS Roma.

But unfortunately, these high hopes will not come true at all because yes, it looks like AS Roma will be a team that will be completely doubted for the rest of this season in all competitions.

Actually, it is still too early to claim De Rossi's failure. He even still doesn't manage AS Roma for the first match. Although De Rossi has a lack of experience as a professional coach, he has a chance to success with AS Roma. We must be familiar with Zidane, many people also doubt him when he became Real Madrid coach for the first time because he has no experience to be a professional coach previously. However, every one knows that Zidane finally succeed to win many trophies with Real Madrid. I think De Rossi also has the chance to succeed as Zidane ever did. Although the situation is much different, but it is not something impossible. Let's see how De Rossi can manage AS Roma to play against Verona in the upcoming match.

[CLS63]

Failure of De Rossi? He has just been signed for the manager position by Roma. Isn't it too early make such assumptions about him? I know that he came after a great manager like Mourinho. But it doesn't mean that De Rossi can't be more successful than Mourinho at the same time. Nobody can know about that.

I would like to give a great example to this situation. After Villas-Boas period at Chelsea Di Matteo was brought to the position in the 2011/12 season. Who could have thought that he would win the Champions League title with Chelsea in his interim manager period there? 

I don't say that De Rossi would do the same but I mean it is quite possible for him to do better than Mourinho at the same time.
