Atalanta Parts Ways With Juric, Set to Appoint Palladino During International Break

The club pivots to a coach known for accelerating player development after a 3-0 loss to Sassuolo left the side 13th.

Overview

  • A late meeting of the Percassi ownership and sporting director Tony D'Amico produced the decision to dismiss Ivan Juric and move for Raffaele Palladino.
  • Palladino is expected to sign today, with his first match anticipated at Napoli on 22 November following the international break.
  • Strained dressing-room relations, highlighted by a televised clash with Lookman in Marseille, weighed heavily in the board's call.
  • Atalanta have not won a league match since 21 September at Torino and sit on 13 points after the latest defeat to Sassuolo.
  • The hire aligns with Atalanta's model, as Palladino earned praise at Monza and Fiorentina for raising young players' value and delivering a 65-point season in Florence.
