Roma Thinking Outside of the Box for Their Next Coach | OneFootball

Ivan Juric will be on the bench for Thursday’s clash between Roma and Inter, but it might be his final game even if the Giallorossi emerge victorious. Their owner Dan Friedkin left New York on his plane on Tuesday. However, he didn’t fly to Italy but rather to California, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The patron was likely there to tend to some personal business. Stil Los Angeles is also the home base of Retexo, Charles Gould’s company, which suggested appointing directors Tiago Pinto and Florent Ghisolfi based on some algorithms. It could happen again for their next manager.

Juric and his entourage are well aware of his precariousness, the short-term confidence, and the infighting. However, he’ll hold his pre-game presser as usual. Even though Daniele De Rossi is still under contract for two more seasons, the Friedkin family would gladly go in a different direction. They would have to apologize for their statement following the firing. They aren’t too inclined to do that.

None of the other rumored options, Claudio Ranieri, Roberto Mancini, Edin Terzic, and Maurizio Sarri, has a ton of momentum at the moment. The eventual choice could be surprising. The announcement could come suddenly on Friday.

Our Take on Roma, Juric, and De Rossi

They can’t continue with the Croat if, in addition to their problems on the pitch, he’s feuding with half of the locker room. They’d have to nail the hiring if they didn’t turn back to the previous manager to appease the fan base. The odds of that happening are pretty slim given their checkered track record. They wouldn’t be wrong in hiring an apical exec first.
