Ivan Juric will sit on the Roma bench again in tomorrow’s match against Torino.

Less than 48 hours after the humiliating defeat against Fiorentina, the Giallorossi management has chosen to give the Croatian coach another chance.

The decision of the Friedkin family, who continues to evaluate all options together with sporting director Ghisolfi, was neither an immediate dismissal nor a lasting confirmation until the end of the season.

A month after Juric’s arrival to replace Daniele De Rossi, the idea circulating in Trigoria is not to continue the season with a fourth coach in less than a year, hoping for a turnaround.

On Monday, around lunchtime, Friedkin gave the green light to Juric’s permanence, who will present himself at a press conference today at 12 to take stock.

The absence of a replacement already chosen contributes to his temporary confirmation: among the coaches available on the market there are Ranieri, Mancini, Allegri, Terzic, Potter, Sarri, Xavi and Schmidt, profiles on which the management could rely.

The hope is that tomorrow, writes Il Tempo, in front of almost 60 thousand fans at the Olimpico, we can witness a tangible change of direction on a technical, tactical and mental level.

The team will have to demonstrate a fighting spirit greater than that shown so far, after a match in which the substitutions and attempts at tactical reaction by Juric proved ineffective.

In the event of another negative performance, dismissal would become inevitable: not intervening would in fact mean disrespecting the club itself.

In addition to Juric, the players were also invited by the fans to respond on the pitch, with several supporters present at Trigoria at the end of the last training session.
