Roma Considering Second Coaching Change of the Season | OneFootball

Roma are struggling to find consistency this season and are mulling going back to Daniele De Rossi as they haven’t gotten going under Ivan Juric. The Croatian manager will be coaching for his job in the next two matches against Dynamo Kyiv and Fiorentina, Leggo reports (via OneFootball).

The Giallorossi have collected ten points and didn’t start this slowly since 2009. They have scored just eight times in the first eight games. It’s their lowest clip since 1991. Only Lecce, Monza, Genoa, and Venezia have been less prolific. On the other hand, they have tallied 133 shots, the most in the League.

Juric has posted two wins, two draws, and two losses on the Roma bench, not doing much better than De Rossi. The fans have continued to voice their support for the club icon and protest against his sacking and the owners in general.

In addition, a few players are starting to grow concerned with the lack of consideration, for instance, Manu Koné, Mats Hummels, and Matias Soulé. Moreover, the boss has been heavily criticized because of Paulo Dybala’s heavy defensive tasks against Inter.

Our Take on Roma, Juric, and De Rossi

There was little logical reasoning behind the abrupt dismissal other than a power struggle, and CEO Lina Souloukou eventually left the team as well. The ensuing hire wasn’t too inspiring due to their roster, which needs a more offensive-minded philosophy to thrive. Plus, it showed an uncharacteristic lack of ambition. It probably won’t happen in short order, but the next few matches before the next break could indeed lead to another coaching change if they don’t right the ship. It would at least buy the patrons some goodwill and restore the peace.
