With today’s loss, Roma recorded 1 win and 4 losses in the last 5 league games.
Roman drew his sword. Coach Ivan Juric was sacked.
“We would like to thank coach Juric for his hard work over the past few weeks,” Roma said. “The search for a new coach has already begun and an announcement will be made soon.”
Roma started the 2024-25 season under the leadership of ‘club legend’ Daniele Derossi. Roma quickly chose to change after only 3 draws and 1 loss in the first 4 games of the season. Coach Desrossi was fired and the baton was given to Coach Yuric.

Coach Ranieri is very experienced.
Coach Ranieri served as a coach at Cagliari, Napoli, Fiorentina, Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus, Inter Milan, Leicester City, Fulham, and Watford. He once took charge of Rome.
The best moment of his managerial career was when he was leading Leicester. Coach Ranieri led Leicester to the top of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2015-16 season.
Leicester’s win is considered the most surprising win in EPL history. At this time, director Ranieri earned the nickname ‘fairy tale writer’.
Coach Ranieri announced his retirement from soccer in May. Coach Ranieri decided to return less than a year later.
This is the third time Coach Ranieri and Roma have formed a relationship.
There is interest in whether director Ranieri will be able to produce another fairytale-like result in Rome.
