SERGIO:

"I don't like the decision because he is a great person, but unfortunately the results did not come and when they do not come the coach changes, it is normal. It happens to other coaches, too. We hope that De Rossi turns the ship around, then in June, I don't know if someone more important will arrive."

FEDERICO:

"I received the news very badly, this morning I opened Instagram and the first news was that of Mourinho. I didn't believe it because it is a wrong decision (made) by the board, they use the coach as a scapegoat to cover up the rest of the problems: it is a team without a project. Players bought for free, who are not worth much, cannot even play 60 minutes per game and then they think that Mourinho can work miracles."
