OUTRAGE’ read Thursday’s front page of Il Romanista. The AS Roma-devoted outlet captured the mood amongst the Giallorossi fanbase in the wake of a managerial departure that nobody saw coming

Roma chief executive Lina Souloukou has stepped down, the Serie A club said on Sunday, following fan anger over the sacking of manager Daniele De Rossi.

Daniele de Rossi has now been sacked by Serie A giants Roma, who were winless in four games in the league and have decided to make the abrupt decision of axing the Italian despite handing him a new deal in the summer.

Lina Souloukou has announced her resignation. Her decision to step down comes four days after the sacking of head coach Daniele de Rossi. De Rossi’s dismissal was met with anger by Roma supporters, with Souloukou receiving much of the backlash.
