Now, Atalanta's management faces the urgent task of finding a replacement for Juric.

Details: Today, the official website and social media of Italian club Atalanta announced that 50-year-old Croatian coach Ivan Juric has been dismissed from his position as head coach.

Juric was appointed Atalanta manager in June this year, but the Croatian's dismal results left the club's board with no choice but to show him the door.

In 11 Serie A matches, Atalanta managed just 2 wins, drew 7 times, and lost 2. Currently, the team sits 13th in the standings with 13 points—a disappointing tally for a club that aims for the league medals every season.

It is reported that Juric's entire coaching staff—Matteo Paro, Miguel Veloso, Paolo Barbero, Stjepan Ostojić, and Michele Orecchio—have also left the club alongside him.

The club will announce Juric's successor in the near future.

Reminder: Atalanta have already found a replacement for Ivan Jurić if they decide to sack him
