Who is Ivan Jurić?
Jurić lasted only two months in Roma, and was fired in November
The Croatian coach began his coaching career working under Gian Piero Gasperini – who is currently the revolutionary head coach at Atalanta.
Jurić worked in Gasperini's coaching staff at Inter Milan and Palermo, before taking his first job at Serie C side Mantua in 2014-15.
The following season he took the Serie B job at Crotone and led them to promotion to Serie A for the first time in the club's history that term. However, he did not take them to the Italian top league, as he was offered to replace Gasperini in Genoa, which he accepted.
Jurić then had three separate spells at Genoa over a two-year period – being sacked by the club three times between February 2017 and December 2018.
He finally found stability at Hellas Verona in 2019, who had just been promoted to Serie A. With one of the smallest budgets in the league, he kept them top of the league for two consecutive seasons – before taking the Torino job.
The Croatian left Torino at the end of last season after three seasons in Serie A and took the Roma job in September this year after fan favorite Daniele de Rossi was sacked by the Friedkin group. Jurić, however, did not even last two months because he was fired with the Giallorossi four points above the relegation zone.
