Ivan Juric had an unhappy past at Roma.
On September 18, 2024, the Croatian coach was announced as the successor to Daniele De Rossi, who had been fired a few days earlier.
However, he failed to make his mark at the Giallorossi.
On November 10, 2024, his dismissal was announced, and the Friedkins replaced him shortly thereafter with Claudio Ranieri.
After a brief stint at Southampton, which also ended with an early dismissal, the former Genoa, Torino, and Roma coach, among others, has returned to Serie A.
Atalanta, having parted ways with Gian Piero Gasperini who in the meantime has accepted the Giallorossi’s advances, has decided to focus on the Croatian to ensure continuity in the technical project begun with Gasperini.
After the draw against Juventus, on Matchday 5 of the league season, the Nerazzurri coach said in his post-match interview with Dazn: “I’ve had a difficult year, but one that’s been a great experience.”
“I’ve seen English football and the Premier League. In Rome, I worked with very strong players like Dybala in a difficult environment where I was left on my own.”
