Overview
- AC Monza confirmed that Ivan Juric will become head coach, taking over at the start of July on a contract that runs through 2028.
- Juric replaces Paolo Bianco, who won promotion through the play-offs and then left the club to pursue a new opportunity.
- The 50-year-old arrives with a mixed recent record, including brief spells at Roma and Atalanta and a stint at Southampton that ended in relegation.
- Monza's decision follows a change in the club's ownership structure earlier this year and comes as nearly half of Serie A clubs have changed coaches during the off-season.
- The appointment is a calculated gamble that could bring higher-level experience and tactical structure to a club entering only its fourth top-flight season, and fans should watch Juric's transfer choices and early results for signs of stability.
