“Roma’s Struggles Continue with Loss to Bologna, Coach Juric Fired”
Roma’s struggles deepened with a 3-2 loss at home to Bologna on Sunday, leading to coach Ivan Juric’s dismissal. Roma announced Juric’s departure shortly after the match, marking the team’s second coaching change this season. Juric, who took over from fan-favorite Daniele De Rossi in September, failed to improve Roma’s performance.
Currently sitting 12th in Serie A, Roma is only four points above the relegation zone. Bologna took the lead with goals from Santiago Castro, Riccardo Orsolini, and Jesper Karlsson, while Stephan El Shaarawy scored twice for Roma in the second half. Some Roma fans left the Stadio Olimpico partway through the game in protest.
Elsewhere in Serie A, Atalanta and Fiorentina won their matches, moving level with league leader Napoli, which is set to play Inter Milan later. Atalanta defeated Udinese 2-1 with an own-goal by Isaak Toure, and Fiorentina beat Hellas Verona 3-1 with a hat trick from Moise Kean. Lazio also has a chance to match the leaders if it wins against Monza.
