De Rossi to continue as Roma
De Rossi took over the coaching post from Jose Mourinho in January.
Roma currently holds the fifth seed in the standings after a seven-game winning streak in Serie A.
The former Italy international also led the club to the Europa League semifinals after beating AC Milan.
“After meeting yesterday afternoon with Daniele De Rossi, we are delighted to announce he will continue as Head Coach of AS Roma after this season and for the foreseeable future,” club owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin said in a joint statement.
“In his short tenure as Head Coach, the positive impact that his leadership has brought to the entire club has told its own story.
“Daniele leads with respect and courage, while his strength and deep-rooted belief in the club are truly aligned with Roma’s values, city and unparalleled fans.
“We will continue to work together as hard as we possibly can to deliver a future that AS Roma’s fans deserve.
“We couldn’t be happier to build a long-term project with Daniele.”
De Rossi also confirmed his decision to stay in Roma.
“The announcement? It means that I am here to stay and continue serving as Roma’s head coach.
“It’s also a way of saying that not everything depends on tonight. For me it’s a huge confidence boost.”
