Roma postpone training as search for new coach continues | OneFootball

Roma have reportedly postponed the return to training until Thursday, as they seem no closer to finding a new coach to replace Ivan Juric.

The Giallorossi announced that Juric had been fired within an hour of their 3-2 home defeat to Bologna on Sunday.

This means they are looking for their fourth coach of the calendar year, having sacked Jose Mourinho in January and Daniele De Rossi in September.

The original plan had been for players to return to training at the Trigoria ground tomorrow, given time off for the break for international duty.

However, Calciomercato.it report that now the squad has been told the gates will remain locked and they don’t need to return to work until Thursday.

Roma still without a tactician

There probably will not be a new coach in place there either, because the net continues to be cast far and wide.

The Turkish Football Federation shot down suggestions Roma could poach Vincenzo Montella, while Roberto Mancini remains a potential candidate.

Although some sources point towards ex-Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri, Alfredo Pedullà of Sportitalia is confident there has been no contact with him.

The search would seem to be going abroad, including former Chelsea man Graham Potter, Frank Lampard and recently sacked Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.

A potential return for Rudi Garcia is another option, though Edin Terzic is reportedly not too enthusiastic about the idea.
