Thomas Tuchel Was Approached by Roma Before Taking England Job
Before being named England’s head coach, Thomas Tuchel reportedly had initial discussions with Roma regarding their managerial role. Tuchel expressed interest in Roma’s project, but the team chose to hire Ivan Juric instead, according to Radio Mana Mana Sport. Stefano Pioli, the former manager of AC Milan, turned down the position in favor of joining Al-Nassr, while Edin Terzic, the former coach of Dortmund, apparently waited for a possible Milan offer.

Juric has struggled since being hired; in his first eight games, he has only won three. Only two months after his appointment, Roma’s board reportedly called an emergency meeting to discuss their options following a reported altercation with a player during a 5-1 loss to Fiorentina, sparking rumors regarding his future.
