National team defender gets new coach – Juric fired

When national team defender Isak Hien returns from Sweden's World Cup qualifiers against Switzerland and Slovenia, he will not see Ivan Juric on the coaching bench at Atalanta. The Italian Serie A club fired the Croatian on Monday.

When Atalanta lost 0-3 at home to Sassuolo on Sunday, it was the Bergamo club's second straight defeat. Before that, the team had not lost in nine league games, but seven of them have ended in draws and Atalanta is in 13th place in the Serie A table.

Juric had a less successful spell at Roma last year, leaving after less than two months in charge. He took over at Premier League club Southampton, but left early in April when it became clear that the club had been relegated from the English top flight.

In the Champions League, Atalanta has taken seven points in four matches.
