Ivan Juric’s tenure at Roma came to an end on Sunday afternoon following the Giallorossi’s defeat to Bologna.

After yet another underwhelming result, the decision was taken to sack the Croatian technician in the hopes of turning the situation around before the end of the year.

Today’s edition of Il Tempo reveals how Juric was made aware of Roma’s dismissal.

The newspaper writes that at full-time, the 49-year-old coach headed for the team’s locker room.

Before he could reach his men there, his phone rang with Roma president Dan Friedkin on the other end of the line.

The American club owner personally informed Juric of his sacking.
