Allegri in discussions as Friedkin backs Roma CEO in decision to sack De Rossi - Carlos Volcano

Following a disappointing winless start to the season, Roma have decided to part ways with De Rossi.

TMW says De Rossi was sacked after the Friedkin family sided with their CEO over De Rossi over their poor start to the season.

De Rossi reasoned that his new-look team needed time to gel, but Souloukou refused to accept the excuse in a meeting yesterday.

With owners, the Friedkin family, backing Souloukou's opinion, it was decided to dump De Rossi during calls last night.

Roma are expected to act quickly on a replacement with Max Allegri, Ivan Juric and Stefano Pioli - all available as free agents - being linked.
