Getty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?
The former Italy international, who played under Mourinho in the early years of his career at Inter, expects De Rossi to succeed as a coach at Roma, and has claimed that a change in management always brings new "enthusiasm" in a dressing room.
Getty/GOALTHE BIGGER PICTURE
There has been a positive change at the Giallorossi ever since De Rossi replaced Mourinho at the helm. Since the Italian's arrival, the Serie A side have won all of their last three games to move up to fifth in the Serie A table. Mourinho was sacked in January after a 3-1 loss to AC Milan, which had left the Giallorossi languishing down in ninth.
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR AS ROMA?
Roma will be next seen in action on Saturday as they take on league leaders Inter in a crucial Serie A fixture. Inter are currently top of the table on 57 points, 19 ahead of Roma.
