Roma Still in the Early Stages of a New Coaching Hire | OneFootball

Roma inevitably pulled the plug on Ivan Juric following the loss to Bologna. The coach had been given two extra games, mostly due to the timing than because the brass still backed him, which didn’t lead to any improvements. The club officialized the firing shortly after the final whistle on Sunday.

According to La Repubblica, the Giallorossi might need a few days to bring in a new coach. They have hired the CAA Base agency as consultants, which suggested Edin Terzic, Frank Lampard, and Paulo Sousa. They’d have to pay to free up the last one from his contract with Shabab Al-Ahli.

The latest entry in their shortlist is Rudi Garcia, who helmed Roma in the past and has been without a team since Napoli gave him the boot. Roberto Mancini is still one of the top candidates. He spoke with the owners in recent days. He has precise requests about his contract, the transfer market, and the team’s direction.

Maurizio Sarri is an option but doesn’t like taking over midseason. The same goes for Massimiliano Allegri, who would have great consensus but needs to be talked into taking the job. All the top coaches want reassurances since chaos has reigned supreme in the capital club in the last couple of years, Corriere della Sera informs.

A new CEO would. Sassuolo’s Giovanni Carnevali, Inter’s Alessandro Antonello and former Sky executive vice president Marzio Perrelli are in the running.

Our Take on Roma

It’s too early to go with a caretaker manager, probably Claudio Ranieri, but they have to lure an elite and charismatic gaffer with broad shoulders to have a shot at righting the ship and mounting a comeback.
