Dan and Ryan Friedkin declared this in a note on the Giallorossi website a few hours before the decisive match against Milan valid for access to the Europa League semi-finals .
“In his short tenure as head coach, the positive impact his leadership brought to the entire club continued the narrative of his extraordinary history with Roma,” the Friedkins' joint statement continued. «Daniele's leadership is marked by respect and courage , while his strength and trust, deeply rooted in the club, are in line with the values of Roma, the city and our fans who have no equals» adds the owners .
«We will continue to work together with ever greater commitment to offer the future that AS Roma fans deserve. We couldn't be happier to build a long-term project with Daniele. Further details will follow in the coming days. Forza Roma!», the conclusion.
The agreement - according to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport - should start from a two-year basis, obviously at figures significantly higher than the current 400 thousand euros (plus a large bonus in case of qualification for the Champions League), the ones that De Rossi has agreed to take to lead Roma in these six months.
