After Jose Mourinho left Roma in January – despite back-to-back European finals – Daniele De Rossi was appointed as a club legend, capable of stabilizing things at Stadio Olimpico, at least temporarily. The former Italian international finished sixth in the Serie A and seemed to have connected really well with the players. Yet being winless in the initial four rounds of the current campaign in the Italian top-flight, De Rossi was sacked and replaced with the former Genoa, Torino, and Hellas Verona boss, Ivan Juric.Mourinho reveals which excruciating defeat he still can’t acceptNevertheless, only six weeks after taking the job, the Croat could be sacked despite starting his spell in Rome well, with a double win over Udinese and Venezia. However, since then, Roma has taken only one point in Monza and lost to Inter Milan at home and Fiorentina in Firenze, suffering a total disaster – 5-1.🚨 #Juric will remain on the bench for the match against Turin, but in the event of a negative result, he may be fired.According to @SkySport Roma are already thinking about a possible replacement strategy – the Friedkins want to be ready and have contacted some high profile… pic.twitter.com/552eEdRLT1— AS Roma zprávy 🇨🇿🐺 (@asromacesky) October 30, 2024 Apart from that, Juric had reportedly been involved in a physical altercation with Roma defender Gianluca Mancini during the half-time break of the clash with Viola. That allegedly was the last straw for the club’s management, which already started searching for Juric’s successor and is keen on sacking him, regardless of the result of the upcoming Serie A match against Torino on Thursday.As for the potential replacements, the public in Italy spoke about De Rossi’s eventual return, even though it would be odd to again cooperate with people who had fired him a bit over a month ago. The experienced Claudio Ranieri has also been in the mix, although it’s hard to expect that he would be willing to deal with numerous problems at Stadio Olimpico at the age of 73.The story behind Juric’s arrival in Rome is also somewhat weird, since the Sky Sport journalist Angelo Mangiante claimed that Roma had contacts with none other than Thomas Tuchel regarding the position after De Rossi left! Mangiante also asserted that the German was interested in the job, but the club eventually chose Juric!Totti comes out of retirement at 48?!Former Roma forward and Italian international, Antonio Cassano, harshly criticized Juric and his work, arguing that his former team should hire Roberto Mancini, who had been recently fired from Saudi Arabia bench.”Juric talks about the first 40 days, but the first 37, apart from the first game against Udinese have been sh**. He won the first one, but he’s been rubbish in all the other games. I don’t understand what they see in this. I hope Roma can get Mancini. De Rossi must not accept it. The club is entirely at fault, they made their bed and now they have to lie in it. Juric is on his way out, at least Mancini has the balls,” stated Cassano, speaking on on the Viva El Football live stream.
