===American ownership and Pallotta era===
In the summer of 2010, the Sensi family agreed to relinquish their control of Roma as part of a debt-settlement agreement, ending their reign that had begun in 1993. Until a new owner was appointed, Rosella Sensi continued her directorial role of the club. Following a series of poor results that saw Roma engage in a winless streak of five consecutive matches, [[Claudio Ranieri]] resigned as head coach in February 2011, and former striker [[Vincenzo Montella]] was appointed as caretaker manager until the end of the season. It was also during this season that Roma icon Francesco Totti scored his 200th Serie A goal against [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] in March 2011, becoming only the sixth player to achieve such a feat.

On 16 April 2011, the takeover contract was closed with an American investment group led by [[Thomas R. DiBenedetto]], with [[James Pallotta]], Michael Ruane and Richard D'Amore as partners. DiBenedetto became the 22nd president of the club, serving from 27 September 2011 to 27 August 2012 and was succeeded by Pallotta.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gazzettagiallorossa.it/2012/08/gazzetta-dello-sport-pallotta-e-tua-tra-basket-e-soccer-la-scalata-di-mister-james-per-fare-grande-la-roma/|title=GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT Pallotta, è tua!

In turn, NEEP owned all shares held previously by Sensi (about 67%) with the rest free float in the stock market. UniCredit later disinvested NEEP Roma Holding to sell to "AS Roma SPV, LLC" and Pallotta.

The new ownership hired [[Walter Sabatini]] as director of football and former [[Spain men's national football team|Spanish international]] and [[FC Barcelona B|Barcelona B]] coach [[Luis Enrique (footballer)|Luis Enrique]] as manager. Signings included attacking midfielder [[Erik Lamela]] from [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]] and forward [[Bojan Krkić|Bojan]] from [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], as well as [[Dani Osvaldo]] and [[Miralem Pjanić]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Roma's summer signings have them back on track |url=https://forzaitalianfootball.com/2011/10/romas-summer-signings-have-them-on-the-right-track/amp/ |access-date=13 October 2022 |publisher=Forza Italian Football |date=26 October 2011 |archive-date=13 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221013121829/https://forzaitalianfootball.com/2011/10/romas-summer-signings-have-them-on-the-right-track/amp/ |url-status=live }}</ref> On the pitch, the team were eliminated from [[2011–12 UEFA Europa League]] play-off round by [[SK Slovan Bratislava|Slovan Bratislava]].
