  On 8 June 2011, Luis Enrique reached an agreement with Italian Serie A club Roma to become the Giallorossi' s new head coach. He signed a two-year contract, being joined by a staff of four members, including Iván de la Peña who played two years for crosstown rivals Lazio, as technical collaborator.
  
  Roma were eliminated from the UEFA Europa League by Slovan Bratislava, amid great discussion of the substitution of Francesco Totti for Stefano Okaka. The capital -based side also lost their first game in the domestic league against Cagliari, making it just the third time that they lost the opener in 18 years.
  
  Even though he still had two years remaining on his contract, Enrique decided to leave Roma at the end of the season after failure to qualify for any European competition.
