Roma Appoints Ivan Juric As New Manager

Published

on

AS Roma have appointed former Torino manager Ivan Juric to replace Daniele De Rossi who was sacked earlier on Wednesday following a winless run in their first four Serie A matches of the season.

The Croatian coach has signed a contract that runs until June of next year, and reports from Italian media suggest that the agreement could be extended if Roma secures a spot in the Champions League this season.

The 49-year-old Juric stepped down at the end of last season after three years in charge at Torino, who consistently finished mid-table during his time with them. He is Roma’s third coach in eight months.

Juric began his coaching journey in 2011 as an assistant to Gian Piero Gasperini at Inter Milan and Palermo. He subsequently enjoyed a three-year tenure as head coach at Genoa and Hellas Verona.

His new club, who conceded a late equalizer to draw 1-1 at Genoa at the weekend, host leaders Udinese on Sunday.
