Rome: Italian football club Roma sacked their Croatian head coach Ivan Juric on Sunday after only 12 matches in charge. "We would like to thank Ivan Juric for his hard work these past weeks," Roma said in a statement. "He handled a difficult environment with the utmost professionalism, and for that, we are grateful. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors." According to Anadolu Agency, Roma is currently seeking their third head coach of the season following a 3-2 defeat to Bologna in a home match on Sunday. Juric, 49, was appointed in September, replacing Daniele De Rossi, a former Roma and Italy midfielder. Under Juric's leadership, Roma managed four wins, three draws, and five losses in the 12 matches he oversaw. Roma's current standing sees them positioned 12th in the Serie A division and 20th in the UEFA Europa League standings. The club faces challenges in both domestic and European competitions, prompting the decision to part ways with Juric as they look for new leadership to improve their pe rformance.
