Roma, not just Claudio Ranieri: the odds are rising for another former
Roma, back in fashion even in Rudi Garcia
After the heavy home loss against Bologna, Roma has officially decided to relieve coach Ivan Juric, who is leaving the Giallorossi bench after only 12 games condensed by 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats between the league and Europa League. The Capitoline management, for its part, è already working to find a replacement in an attempt to resolve this chaotic situation.
According to reports from "Il Corriere dello Sport", the main candidate to take Ivan Juric’s place would be Roberto Mancini, who would already be ready to return to the bench after ending his adventure as coach of Saudi Arabia. However, in recent hours, the odds would have risen considerably for Rudi Garcia, who has already coached Roma from 2013 to 2016.
The profiles of Claudio Ranieri and Frank Lampard also remain in the running, albeit in a defiladed manner. The former could decide to return to the bench until the end of the season and then take on the role of technical director from 2026, while the latter could be hired complicit in his proximity to the Friedkins.
It would be very remote, in conclusion, the possibilities of an arrival of Massimiliano Allegri, who would be willing to consider the Giallorossi bench only from June.
At the end of the challenge with Bologna, the Giallorossi’s Dt Florent Ghisolfi è expressed himself bluntly about the situation at Roma: "Juric gave his best. We take a few days to reflect. The moment è complicated, we all have to take responsibility. We apologize to the fans, who are suffering. The Friedkins will continue to invest in Roma, the goal è to win, they are working to better structure the company. I don't like the word transition and we need to return to performance right away. The management felt the best time to change was after Bologna, so that the new coach could use the national team break to get to know the new players".
