Atalanta Names Raffaele Palladino Head Coach After Juric’s Exit

The 41-year-old inherits a team sitting 13th in Serie A following seven league matches without a win.

Overview

  • The club confirmed Palladino’s appointment on Tuesday, one day after dismissing Ivan Juric and his entire technical staff, which included Miguel Veloso.
  • Juric’s spell covered about 15 matches in all competitions and yielded only four victories.
  • In Serie A, Atalanta managed just two wins in 11 rounds during Juric’s tenure, culminating in a seven-game winless run.
  • The slide featured a 3–0 home defeat to Sassuolo shortly after a Champions League victory over Olympique de Marseille.
  • Juric had replaced long-serving Gian Piero Gasperini, now at Roma, and local reports noted a touchline dispute with forward Ademola Lookman during the campaign.
