Atalanta have sacked manager Ivan Juric following a 3-0 home defeat to Sassuolo over the weekend, leaving the club 13th in Serie A after 11 matches
Juric, who was appointed in June to succeed Gian Piero Gasperini after his nine-year tenure, struggled to reproduce the form that saw Atalanta finish third last season. The team has recorded just two league wins this campaign and sits 11 points behind leaders Inter Milan.
“Atalanta BC announces that Ivan Juric has been relieved of his duties as first team coach,” the club said in a statement, adding: “Atalanta BC would like to thank Ivan Juric and his staff for their hard work and wishes them all the best for the future.”
The 50-year-old Croatian previously managed AS Roma following Daniele De Rossi’s sacking in September 2024, but was dismissed after less than two months. He later took charge of Southampton in December 2024, leaving the club a day after their relegation from the Premier League.
Local media have tipped former Fiorentina boss Raffaele Palladino as Juric’s likely replacement. Atalanta will next face Napoli on November 22 after the international break.
