Who is Ivan Juric?
Juric lasted just two months at Roma and was sacked in November
The Croatian manager began his coaching career working under Gian Piero Gasperini – currently the revolutionary head coach of Atalanta.
Juric worked in Gasperini's coaching staffs at Inter Milan and Palermo, before taking his first job at Serie C side Mantua in the 2014-15 campaign.
The following season, he took the Serie B job at Crotone and was promoted to Serie A for the first time in the club's history that term. He did not join them in the Italian top flight, however, as an offer was made to replace Gasperini at Genoa, which he accepted.
Juric then had three separate spells at Genoa in the space of two years – sacked by the club three times between February 2017 and December 2018.
He finally found stability at Hellas Verona in 2019, who had just been promoted to Serie A. With one of the smallest budgets in the league, he kept them in the top flight for two straight seasons – before taking the Torino job .
The Croatian left Torino at the end of last season after three seasons in Serie A and took the Roma job in September this year after the Friedkin Group sacked Daniele de Rossi. However, Juric didn't even last two months as the Giallorossi were sacked four points above the relegation zone.
