Roma president James Pallotta released a statement via the club’s official website. These are his words:
“When we needed someone to come in during a very difficult situation, Claudio immediately said yes. He’s not only a great coach and professional but a true gentleman and forever Romanista. On behalf of everyone at the club, I want to say thank you. I’d also like to thank the supporters in the stadium for giving Daniele the farewell he so richly deserved last night. After representing the supporters on the pitch for 18 years, the outpouring of love and support from everyone for him was incredible.”
