Daniele De Rossi will leave Roma after 18 years

However, the former Italy international, who won the World Cup in 2006, will not be retiring from football.“For 18 years, Daniele has been the beating heart of Roma’s team,” club president Jim Pallotta said.“From his debut in 2001 to taking on the responsibility of the captain’s armband, he always represented the Roma fans on the pitch with pride as he established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe. “We will all shed tears when he pulls on the Giallorossi shirt for the last time against Parma, but we respect his desire to prolong his playing career – even if, at almost 36, it will be away from Rome.“On behalf of everyone at Roma, I’d like to thank Daniele for his incredible dedication to this club andensure him that our doors will remain open for him to return to the club in a new role whenever he wants.”2

The Italian has been with Roma since 2001

Though he never won a Serie A title with his boyhood club, De Rossi won the Coppa Italia in 2007 and 2008, as well as Supercoppa in 2007, during his time with Roma and will depart with the second most appearances for them behind Francesco Totti, who retired in 2017 having made 786 appearances.De Rossi will address the media at Roma’s Trigoria training ground on Tuesday.
