'De Rossi won't sleep at night' - Ranieri 'doesn't know' why Roma legend is being let go

After 19 years, the veteran midfielder is leaving at the end of the season and the outgoing coach is unsure of the motives behind the decision

Roma coach Claudio Ranieri has claimed that president James Pallotta and Franco Baldini could have handled Daniele de Rossi's departure from the club this summer 'differently'.

Speaking at the press conference ahead of Roma’s final away game of the season at Sassuolo, Ranieri, who is also leaving at the end of the campaign, believes De Rossi will be a big loss.

The veteran midfielder has announced that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season, but Ranieri has confirmed that it wasn’t De Rossi’s decision.
