Everton’s prospective owners The Friedkin Group are reportedly considering a shock U-turn – at AS Roma.
But TFG have faced backlash from Roma supporters of late after they made the controversial decision to sack Stadio Olimpico legend Daniele de Rossi as head coach just four games into the campaign. De Rossi, arguably the second-greatest player in I Giallorossi history behind Francesco Totti, had signed a new three-year deal in the summer but was replaced by Ivan Juric until the end of the season.
Fans in the Italian capital have protested against TFG, with supporter group Curva Sud unfurling two banners before and during Sunday’s 1-0 loss against Inter Milan. In addition, they did not enter the stadium until 15 minutes into the encounter.
And according to Italian press agency Adnkronos (via Planet Roma), TFG are weighing up whether to reinstall De Rossi in the hot seat amid a ‘new crisis’. It is reported that Friedkin could bring back De Rossi alongside a new CEO after Lina Souloukou stepped down in the aftermath of De Rossi’s departure.
It is suggested that the return of De Rossi would be a ‘relaunch of the Friedkin’s commitment and the substantial admission of the error committed in the management that led first to the removal of the ownership and then to the sacrifice of De Rossi’.
