This result, the latest in a string of disappointing performances, left the club reeling as they endured their second consecutive Serie A loss and fourth coaching change this calendar year.
Juric’s position was already in jeopardy heading into Sunday’s clash after a turbulent week that saw Roma fall 3-2 to Verona and manage only a draw against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League.
Despite his attempts to reverse the club’s fortunes, Roma’s management deemed it necessary to make another leadership change, less than two months after Juric replaced Daniele De Rossi.
In an official statement, Roma expressed gratitude for Juric’s dedication during his brief period in charge, stating, “We would like to thank Ivan Juric for his hard work these past weeks. 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 statement also confirmed that the club had already initiated the search for a new head coach and expected to announce a replacement soon.
Reports suggest that former Italy boss Roberto Mancini is being considered as a leading candidate.
Juric’s brief tenure ended with a record of four wins, three draws, and five defeats across Serie A and the Europa League, a performance that the Roma board found unsatisfactory.
