Nainggolan suggests new head coach for Roma: ‘Did better than Mourinho'
Former Giallorossi midfielder Radja Nainggolan has weighed in on the debate over the next permanent Roma head coach after Claudio Ranieri steps into a directorship role at the end of the season, suggesting that a return for club legend Daniele De Rossi should be considered. Two of Nainggolan's former clubs, Inter and Roma, face off in Serie A on Sunday afternoon. Inter are still pushing for the Serie A title, while the Giallorossi have picked up more points than any other side in the division this calendar year. Advertisement 'The Nerazzurri have players with the right personality to overcome the last two defeats. I would like Roma to continue on their positive streak, but the level between the squads is different, and there will be a desire to react in San Siro,' the former Belgium international said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport. Nainggolan suggests De Rossi return for Roma: 'Better than Mourinho' Also among the topics of discussion was the next Roma head coach. A large selection of names have been linked with a move to the Stadio Olimpico, including Massimiliano Allegri and Roberto Mancini at various stages, but recent reports suggest that the frontrunners include Maurizio Sarri, Stefano Pioli, Vincenzo Montella and Patrick Vieira.

'The name for me has always been De Rossi, who did better than Mourinho when he first came into the Roma dugout. He deserved more time,' Nainggolan told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

De Rossi: ‘Fantastic' Ranieri job at Roma
Roma and Italy legend Daniele De Rossi praises Claudio Ranieri, saying he's been doing a fantastic job at the Stadio Olimpico. De Rossi started the season as Roma's coach but was suddenly sacked in September and replaced by Ivan Juric. Neither the ex-Torino coach lasted long at the Olimpico as Ranieri was appointed in November to become the third Roma coach in 2024-25. De Rossi spoke to reporters, including Football Italia, in the mixed zone of the Stadio Franchi for Pepito Day, Giuseppe Rossi's farewell match. 'It's a great opportunity to meet up and say goodbye to Pepito. Rossi was an incredible player and a wonderful and fantastic person,' De Rossi said. 'We joked that today there are great coaches and great players, but I'm the only one who both played with him and coached him since I had him in my squad for a short time at SPAL. It's a pleasure to be here.' When asked his thoughts on Ranieri's job at Roma, De Rossi replied with just one word: 'Fantastic.'
