FOOTBALL – Atalanta sacked manager Ivan Juric yesterday following a 3-0 home defeat by Sassuolo at the weekend, which left the club languishing in 13th place in Serie A after 11 matches.
The Croatian, appointed in June to succeed Gian Piero Gasperini after his nine-year tenure, struggled to replicate the form that led to Atalanta finishing third in the standings last season.
They have managed two league wins this campaign and trail leaders Inter Milan by 11 points.
The 50-year-old became AS Roma manager after the sacking of Daniele De Rossi in September 2024, but lasted less than two months in the job before being fired.
He then took charge of Southampton in December of the same year, only to leave the club a day after their relegation from the Premier League.
Former Fiorentina boss Raffaele Palladino has been tipped by local media to be the new manager of Atalanta.
