Daniele De Rossi has signed a new deal to keep him as Roma coach until 2027.

De Rossi, who spent 18 seasons at Roma as a player, took over the Giallorossi in January, after Jose Mourinho's departure.

The 40 year-old ultimately guided Roma to a sixth-place finish in Serie A as well as a Europa League semi-final, which it lost to Bundesliga champion Bayer Leverkusen.

"Before the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, the owners – the Friedkin Group – had announced in a note their desire to continue with De Rossi," a Roma statement read.

"The club's intentions then turned into a three-year contract, which the coach signed with enthusiasm, continuing the natural symbiosis with this team, his team. Rome."

As well as confirming De Rossi's new deal, Roma announced that striker Andrea Belotti had completed a move to newly promoted Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas.
