Juric's tenure at Atalanta appears to be drawing to a close, with reports from Calciomercato and Bergamo Post indicating that his dismissal is imminent. The final straw seems to be the comprehensive 3-0 home defeat to Sassuolo on Sunday,

Atalanta have sacked Ivan Juric after a poor Serie A start and a clash with Nigerian international Ademola Lookman, as fans reacted to the managerial change.

With it still undecided who Still’s successor will be, news on the continent regarding Juric may be of some interest to Southampton. Juric took over as Southampton manager in December 2024 but endured a torrid spell in charge at St. Mary’s, winning just two of the 16 matches he was employed for.

Atalanta have confirmed the appointment of Raffaele Palladino as the club’s new head coach. The announcement follows the dismissal of Ivan Juric, who was relieved of his duties just months after taking charge.

Atalanta boss Ivan Juric says his dispute with forward Ademola Lookman, which flared up after the Champions League victory over Marseille, is firmly in the past and has even served to strengthen their relationship.
