Yet another poor performance costs Ivan Juric the bench. It had all been written for some time, but the 2-3 slip against Bologna accelerated the progress of things. So much so that immediately after the final whistle the note from the Giallorossi club arrived: “We want to thank Ivan Juric for his hard work in the last few weeks. He managed a difficult environment with the utmost professionalism, and we are grateful to him for this – says the note -. We wish him all the best for his future. The search for a new manager of the technical area has already begun and will be announced in the next few days.” It is curious that the note never mentions either dismissal or termination of the relationship. But the substance does not change, Ivan Juric is no longer the coach of Roma.

Juric’s adventure therefore ends after 53 days, with 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats and a total points average (between championship and Europa League) of just 1.25 points, which makes him the worst Roma coach in the last 20 years. It had been clear for days that Juric had already known his fate for a while, but the Croatian coach was probably hoping to leave a different memory, perhaps with a final victory. But even before the match he had preferred not to speak, knowing perfectly well the difficult situation. Now Roma will be looking for their third coach of the season, after De Rossi and Juric himself. The name on pole remains that of Roberto Mancini, with whom there have already been contacts in recent days. However, the former Italian coach is asking for a long agreement, at least a two-year deal with an option for a third year.
