Balzaretti, a former Roma defender, was sporting director of Udinese last season.
He told Cronache di Spogliatoio: "Pure madness, what kind of sacking is this? This is the problem when the DS doesn't choose the coach."
Balzaretti was referring to Roma sports chief Florent Ghisolfi, who arrived in the summer from Nice.
