Vincent Candela: “De Rossi deserved more time.” | OneFootball

Former Roma defender Vincent Candela was asked about Daniele De Rossi’s dismissal from the capital club.

Candela spoke to reporters on the sidelines of the final day of the Mediolanum Padel Cup – underway at the Villa Pamphili Padel Club in Rome.

“It takes time to build something with good foundations and I’m sorry for the way De Rossi was sent away,” said the ex-fullback.

“He should have been given more time and Juric certainly isn’t the one who can change everything in two weeks,” he added.

“It doesn’t depend on Juric, nor on De Rossi who did not spend enough time on the bench. The club needs to reflect and change a few things.”

“Sure, we don’t win every year but Roma is always Roma. There have been a few problems, the Dybala affair for example, or some players who were supposed to arrive and didn’t. In the long run, all of this weighs on the players, the group, the coach. We need to be clear about this.”
