The most striking clue, just as Ivan Juric was leaving for Rome, It slipped out of Gian Piero Gasperini’s mouth on the eve of Atalanta-Arsenal. To a question about the future of his former pupil, unemployed after three years at Toro, the Atalanta demiurge responded as follows: «Juric? I’m so sorry for De Rossi’s dismissal. I wish Juric the best, but Roma’s choice really surprised me.».
Roma, after the second sacking in nine months, starts again with Ivan Juric: contract until June 30, 2025 with an option to extend in the event of reaching the Champions League, a minimum objective set by the Friedkins after a 130 million market. In Trigoria, where Roma will return to training in the afternoon to prepare for Sunday’s match against Udinese and in the late morning De Rossi emptied his locker, Beppe Riso, Ivan Juric’s agent and also the agent of three more or less big Roma players such as Cristante, Mancini and Baldanzi, is already present.

The Croatian coach will lead the afternoon training sessionThe former strategist of Toro, Verona and Genoa won the sprint for De Rossi’s succession compared to the German leads of Terzic and Tuchel who never gained much ground. Roma, with the three-year contract signed just three months ago for De Rossi on their backs, have been looking for a coach with a one-year contract: condition deemed acceptable by Juric.
After a last (failed) attempt with Pioli, who flew to Arabia, and several refusals from foreign coaches, in Trigoria they gave the green light to the Juric solution. Allegri never contacted, Klopp illusion evaporated: Roma, with its third coach in nine months, restarts with Ivan Juric.
