Atalanta set to fire Head Coach Ivan Jurić amid inconsistent results
Atalanta are reportedly preparing to part ways with head coach Ivan Jurić, with Raffaele Palladino expected to take charge of the Serie A side.
According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, who shared the update on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, “Plan confirmed: Atalanta are on the verge of sacking Ivan Jurić to appoint Raffaele Palladino as new head coach.”
The Bergamo-based club, renowned for its dynamic and attacking brand of football, has had an inconsistent start to the current campaign, prompting the management to consider a change in leadership.
Palladino, a former Atalanta player and current youth coach, is tipped to be officially announced in the coming days.
The 41-year-old has earned recognition for his work within the club’s academy and is viewed as a promising choice to steady the first team while preserving Atalanta’s distinctive playing philosophy.
Ivan Jurić, who previously managed Torino, joined Atalanta with high hopes of building on the club’s recent successes. However, the team’s recent form has not matched expectations, leading to mounting pressure from fans and the board.
Although Atalanta have yet to make an official announcement, sources indicate that both parties are in the final stages of negotiations to formalise the coaching change.
