Atalanta has parted ways with head coach Ivan Juric after a disappointing start to the 2025‑26 Serie A season. In eleven league matches the team managed only two victories, culminating in a 3‑0 home loss to Sassuolo that served as the final straw.
The club’s board acted swiftly, citing a series of inconsistent results and a decline in domestic performance despite a relatively better showing in the Champions League.Juric’s tenure, which began as the successor to Gian Piero Gasperini, was marked by turbulence both on and off the pitch.
A public clash with forward Ademola Lookman added to the controversy, and his earlier spell at Southamptonwhere he recorded just one win in fourteen matches further tarnished his reputation.
The club’s statement thanked Juric and his staff for their efforts and noted that a search for a replacement is already underway.The dismissal signals Atalanta’s intent to restore stability and competitiveness.
With the team languishing in the lower half of the table, the club is looking for a new head coach who can inject fresh ideas and revive their fortunes both domestically and in Europe.
Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see who is appointed and how the squad responds in the upcoming fixtures.
