Following Juric’s dismissal, the former National team’s coach was one of the names associated with the AS Roma bench.

After the removal of Juric, one of the names most closely linked to the bench of AS Roma was that of Roberto Mancini. Before Ranieri was officially announced as the new coach until the end of the season, the former coach of the National team was among the main candidates to lead the yellow-red, fuelling various rumors about his possible arrival in the Capital. The coach, interviewed by TG1, however, denied claims, stating: “I have not been contacted by any club.” Subsequently, he reflected on the end of his tenure with Azzurro: “I wouldn’t make the decision again to leave Italy for Saudi Arabia for technical, football-related reasons.” Coaching the National team is the most beautiful thing. Perhaps we didn’t quite understand each other, maybe it’s a moment of difficulty. “I am referring to Gravina”.
