The 2-3 loss at home at the Olympic Stadium against Bologna led the club management to react and take action.

In September, Juric took over after Daniele De Rossi, but no upswing has occurred. Roma is stuck in 12th place in the table and the distance to the relegation line is only four points.

""We want to thank Ivan Juric for his hard work over the past weeks. He handled a difficult environment with the greatest professionalism and we are grateful for that. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. The search for a new head coach has already begun and we expect an announcement within the coming days", writes Roma in a press release.

Claudio Ranieri and Roberto Mancini are being pointed out as possible candidates to replace Juric.
