James Pallotta has thanked ‘gentleman’ Claudio Ranieri for steadying the ship at Roma and the club’s fans for giving Daniele De Rossi an ‘incredible’ reception.
Ranieri guided Roma to sixth place in Serie A and Europa League qualification in tough circumstances after the midseason exits of Coach Eusebio Di Francesco and sporting director Monchi.
De Rossi, meanwhile, ended 19 years of service to the club during Sunday’s 2-1 win against Parma, although Pallotta was nowhere to be seen at the Olimpico.

“When we needed someone to come in during a very difficult situation, Claudio immediately said yes,” tweeted the President from the Giallorossi’s official account.
“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.”
