For the past 18 years, Alberto De Rossi has been leading Roma’s Primavera team and winning along the way three national titles, two Coppa Italia crowns and two Italian Supercups.
Earlier today it was announced that De Rossi renewed his contract with Roma for another year extending his stay for a 19th season. After signing his renewal, the Youth manager spoke of his work ethic, team objectives for the upcoming season and more.
“I love my job, my enthusiasm for it never wanes. I do it for my hometown team, for the club I love – I have always felt a particular honor to be able to do this as my job. But it is a massive responsibility too.
“We have a duty to prepare as best we can those kids that could progress to the first team.”
He concluded:
“The key thing is to never lose sight of the primary objective – which is to develop players with the right values, who represent the Roma way and can also become a key part of what the club wants to become.”
The full interview was released on Roma’s official website.
