Turmoil in the Capital: Roma Coach Ivan Juric Dismissed Amid Struggles
AS Roma has dismissed coach Ivan Juric following a series of poor performances, marking the club's second coaching change this season. Juric's tenure saw initial success but quickly unraveled, leaving Roma with their worst start in two decades. Former Italy coach Roberto Mancini is rumored to fill the vacancy.
AS Roma announced the dismissal of coach Ivan Juric on Sunday, following a string of disappointing results in the Serie A. The Croatian coach, Roma's second managerial casualty this season, struggled to find consistent success after a promising start.
Juric's tactical decisions, especially the man-to-man marking system, clashed with the team's preference for possession play, leading to costly errors. The latest defeat, a 3-2 loss against Bologna, highlighted the team's ongoing issues, despite efforts to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
With Roma languishing at 12th in the standings and only 13 points from 12 matches, the club now looks to veteran coach Roberto Mancini for leadership. Upcoming fixtures against top-tier teams pose additional challenges as Roma seeks to recover from its poor season start.
