Overview
- Atalanta issued an official statement dismissing Ivan Juric and thanking him and his staff after a poor start to the season.
- Juric’s stint ended after five months despite a contract running to June 2027, with five close collaborators also departing.
- The decision followed a 3–0 home loss to newly promoted Sassuolo and a return of only 13 points from 11 league matches with four goals in the last seven.
- Reports describe strained locker-room relations, including flashpoints involving goalkeeper Gianluca Carnesecchi and Ademola Lookman, plus a social media complaint linked to captain Marten de Roon.
- Raffaele Palladino arrived at Zingonia to sign a reported deal through 2027, with Italian outlets saying Stefano Citterio will be deputy and Federico Peluso assistant while several existing staff remain.
