The 2011–12 season was Associazione Sportiva Roma's 84th in existence and 79th season in the top flight of Italian football. Before the season started Roma changed their manager. The now former manager Vincenzo Montella, did not get his contract extended and was therefore released. Later he was hired to be the new head coach for Catania. Instead, Roma selected former Real Madrid and Barcelona player Luis Enrique to be their new head coach. After a sixth-place finish in 2010–11, Roma were hoping to improve their position and to capture their fourth Scudetto. Roma was eliminated in the play-off round of Europa League after losing 2–1 on aggregate against Slovan Bratislava. Roma also competed in the Coppa Italia, being knocked out in the quarter-finals.
