(ANSA) - Rome, May 31 - Roma skipper Daniele De Rossi has
renewed his contract with the Giallorossi until 2019, the
midfielder said on Roma TV Wednesday, three days after the
emotional farewell to club legend Francesco Totti. "We renewed
and signed," said De Rossi, "the deal was done a few days ago
but I asked them not to talk about it last Sunday because it was
a day dedicated to another player and I wanted it to be made
official after that". De Rossi takes over the captain's armband
from Totti, who ended 25 years with his one and only club after
Roma's 3-2 win over Genoa at the Olimpico.
