Atalanta have parted ways with head coach Ivan Juric after just 11 matches of the 2025-26 Serie A season, following a 3-0 home defeat to newly-promoted Sassuolo on Sunday.
Juric, appointed over the summer to succeed long-serving manager Gian Piero Gasperini, leaves the club in 13th place with only two league wins from 11 matches.
The team has struggled recently, losing their last two league games after six consecutive draws, earning just six points from their last eight Serie A outings.
Atalanta BC announces that Ivan Juric has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the first team, along with his closest staff members, Matteo Paro, Miguel Veloso, Pablo Barbero, Stjepan Ostojic, and Michele Orecchio.
“Atalanta thanks Ivan Juric and his staff for their efforts and wishes them all the best for the future,” the club stated on Monday.
Juric had been told that his performances in the last two matches—against Marseille in the Champions League and Sassuolo in Serie A—would determine his future.
Atalanta won against Marseille, but the Sassuolo loss proved decisive.
Reports indicate that former Monza and Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino is the frontrunner to replace Juric.
