The entire Roma squad paid tribute to Daniele de Rossi as their captain announced he would be leaving the club in a press conference.
Roma decided not to renew the 35-year-old’s contract, drawing the curtain on their player’s illustrious 18-year career with the Serie A side.
His farewell was not without emotion as his team-mates, all wearing a Roma shirt with his name on the back, gave him a standing ovation during his port of call.
The veteran midfielder proceeded to embrace each of them before exiting the room.
De Rossi, who made his Giallorossi debut in 2001, is set to play his last ever game for the club against Parma at the end of the month when the Serie A season finishes.

He has made an incredible 515 appearances for the Stadio Olimpico outfit, putting him second on their all-time appearance list behind Francesco Totti.
And in that time he rejected lucrative offers to move, including to Manchester City in 2012, with club president Jim Palotta has insisted De Rossi is welcome back at the club at any point.
“For 18 years, Daniele has been the beating heart of Roma’s team,” he said.
“From his debut in 2001 to taking on the responsibility of the captain’s armband, he always represented the Roma fans on the pitch with pride as he established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe.
“We will all shed tears when he pulls on the Giallorossi shirt for the last time against Parma, but we respect his desire to prolong his playing career – even if, at almost 36, it will be away from Rome.
“On behalf of everyone at Roma, I’d like to thank Daniele for his incredible dedication to this club and ensure him that our doors will remain open for him to return to the club in a new role whenever he wants.”
