Career

edit

He made his senior debut at 16 for Ostia Mare, and after leaving Roma’s youth sector, he had a modest career in the lower leagues of Italian football, playing in Serie C, Serie C1, Serie C2 and Interregionale, before retiring in 1992.[citation needed]

From 1997 to 2003, he took the role of manager for many sides of Roma's youth sector, before taking over the Primavera side for the next 18 years.[6] On 17 July 2021, he renewed his contract with Roma for another year, extending his stay for a 19th season.[7][8][3]

In June 2022, De Rossi finally left his position as Under-19 manager, and was subsequently appointed as the club's new head of youth coach development.[9]
