The Croatian has been relieved of his duties with a brief note on the official yellow-red website: “We want to thank Ivan for his hard work over the last few weeks.”

It had been in the air for days, but now it’s official. Ivan Juric is no longer the coach of Roma. The club announced this information through a note published on their own site just minutes after the final whistle of the match against Bologna. The fatal blow for the Croatian coach was the fourth defeat in the last 5 league games and a relationship that never blossomed with the team and the environment. Below is the notice from the club: “We want to express our gratitude to Ivan Juric for his hard work in recent weeks. He managed a challenging environment with utmost professionalism, and for this, we are deeply grateful. “We wish him all the best for his future. The search for a new technical area manager has already begun and will be announced in the coming days.” The hunt is now on for a replacement: Roberto Mancini is leading the pack. After the international break, Roma will face off against Napoli, Tottenham, and Atalanta. A horror-themed calendar with a ranking that continues to disappoint.
