Ivan Juric is no longer Roma's head coach with the club announcing his dismissal in a statement on Sunday. The ex-Turin boss paid the price for the 3-2 loss suffered against Bologna at home on the same day, one of several defeats in a period which has been anything but positive for the Giallorossi.

Ivan Juric's adventure at Roma has come to an end after just 12 matches. Sunday's 3-2 defeat against Bologna was his last game in charge, although the decision to remove him had been coming.

The club announced the decision in an official statement: "We want to thank Ivan Juric for his hard work in recent weeks. He has managed a difficult environment with the utmost professionalism, and for this, we are grateful to him.

"We wish him all the best for his future. The search for a new head of the technical area has already begun and will be announced in the coming days."
