Roma’s Second Managerial Change of the Season: Roberto Mancini Could Return to Serie A

In a surprising move, AS Roma announced the departure of head coach Ivan Juric, marking the club’s second managerial change this season. Juric had taken over from Daniele De Rossi on September 18, but Roma’s recent struggles led to his exit.

The club released an official statement expressing gratitude for Juric’s contributions during his brief tenure: “We thank Ivan Juric for his hard work and professionalism in managing a challenging environment. We wish him success in his future endeavors. The search for a new head coach has begun, and an announcement will be made within days.”

Juric’s last match in charge ended with a narrow 3-2 defeat against Bologna. Currently, Roma sits in 12th place in Serie A, with only 13 points from 12 games.

Juric’s Record at Roma

Since stepping in for De Rossi, Juric managed 12 games, achieving four wins, three draws, and five losses. He leaves the club amid a turbulent season, with Roma struggling to secure consistent results.

Roberto Mancini as a Top Candidate

Reports from Italian media indicate that Roma is considering Roberto Mancini as a possible replacement. Mancini, a seasoned Serie A coach, has previously managed both Inter Milan and Lazio, and a potential return to Italy’s top flight could be on the horizon for the former Azzurri boss.
