[Saba Sports News] According to Italian media reports, just 16 days and 4 matches into his tenure, Roma head coach Ivan Juric’s job is already under scrutiny. Juric has led the team to a record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss since taking over, but the performances in the last two matches (2-1 against Venezia and 0-1 against Elfsborg) have been unacceptable to the club. In response, Juric stated: “There are many positive aspects; the team’s passing has been good, and I saw many opportunities in the game. Of course, there are areas we need to improve; we failed to score. We accept this result, but I did not see negative performances.” It is reported that if there is no improvement in the upcoming match against Monza, management will not rule out any possibilities, including firing Juric and bringing back Daniele De Rossi. Reports suggest that similar to the situation when Jose Mourinho was dismissed, the team’s performance has not yet reached a breaking point, but the overall performance has been very poor. In Juric’s first two matches, the team showed some style, but in the last two matches, their performance has increasingly resembled the worst version under De Rossi.
