The storm surrounding AS Roma that followed the sensational Daniele De Rossi dismissed. And this time it's an excellent head that rolls: the CEO of the company Lina Souloukou has resigned even before the fans' protest scheduled for Sunday afternoon in parallel with the match Rome-Udinese.
The announcement of Rome
“AS Roma announces that CEO Lina Souloukou has resigned. We thank Lina for her dedication at a particularly critical stage for the Club and we wish her all the best for her future professional challenges. The ownership remains fully focused on the growth and success of Roma, with constant attention to the values that make our team so special”. This is what is written in the note published by the company.
Souloukou leaves the role of CEO after a year and a half, during which he had tried to restore the club's coffers by implementing a strong spending review.
The manager's decision comes after very complicated days, in which the now ex-CEO of the Giallorossi was considered the main person responsible for the expulsion of Daniele De Rossi just four days into the championship, in which Roma has collected three draws and one defeat. The Giallorossi supporters have not been happy with the club's choice, nor with the way it was made, considered disrespectful towards a flag like De Rossi.
After days of banners, threats and accusations on social media, on Saturday Souloukou was placed under the protection of the police forces.
