# 2023–24 AS Roma season

The 2023–24 season was the 97th season in the history of Roma and their 72nd consecutive season in the top flight. The club participated in Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Europa League.
On 16 January 2024, head coach José Mourinho was terminated from his position after two and a half years at the club, following elimination from the Coppa Italia at the hands of rivals Lazio, with Roma sitting ninth in the league table. He was replaced by former club captain Daniele De Rossi on a contract until the end of the season. On 18 April, owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin announced their intention to retain De Rossi as manager "for the foreseeable future". General manager Tiago Pinto likewise left the club by mutual consent on 3 February 2024.
AS Roma drew an average home attendance of 62,924 in 19 home games in the 2023–24 league season. In June 2024, AS Roma was among the most-followed sports clubs in the world with 36.4 million followers on social media.
