Atalanta announced on their official website on Monday that head coach Ivan Jurić has been sacked effective immediately.
According to Atalanta's official statement, Jurić's assistants, Matteo Paro, Miguel Veloso, Paolo Barbero, Stjepan Ostojić, and Michele Orecchio, will also be sacked effective immediately.
Furthermore, according to Sky Sports Italia, the search for Jurić's successor had already been underway even before his formal dismissal.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, former Fiorentina head coach Raffaele Palladino is expected to become Atalanta's new head coach.
As a club who had won the Europa League just two years ago, Atalanta's performances this season under Jurić has been extremely poor.
After 11 matchdays, Atalanta has only managed 2 wins, 7 draws, and 2 losses, sitting in 13th place in the Serie A table with 13 points.
Although they have earned 7 points from 4 Champions League matches and are currently ranked 16th, the team's performances has consistently failed to convince.
It is worth mentioning that, including this time, as well as his previous stints at Roma and Southampton, this is the third consecutive time in Jurić's career that he has been sacked before completing his first season at the helm.
