ROME (AP) — Roma fired Ivan Juric to mark its second coaching change this season, with the move coming after a 3-2 home loss to Bologna on Sunday in Serie A.
Juric replaced the popular Daniele De Rossi in September but hasn’t turned Roma’s fortunes around.
The Giallorossi are in 12th place and only four points above the relegation zone.
“We would like to thank Ivan Juric for his hard work these past weeks,” Roma said in a statement. “He handled a difficult environment with the utmost professionalism, and for that we are grateful. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
“The search for a new head coach has already begun and we expect an announcement in the coming days,” Roma added.
Multiple reports suggest that former Italian national manager Roberto Mancini and Claudio Ranieri are frontrunners to be Roma's next coach.
Mancini was let go by the Saudi Arabia national team, a position he took after resigning from the Italian team back in August 2023.
