Atalanta, the Italian Serie A club, may be about to sack their manager, Ivan Juric. The club is reportedly in advanced talks with Raffaele Palladino to take over as head coach. This news was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Sunday.
Romano wrote on X: “Atalanta are in advanced talks with Raffaele Palladino to become the new head coach. Ivan Jurić, on the verge of being sacked.”
The possible sacking comes after a tense moment between Juric and Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman during Atalanta’s recent Champions League match against Marseille. Lookman appeared upset when he was substituted, and Juric had to pull him back. The disagreement got heated, and staff members had to step in and separate them.
The incident has sparked speculation that tensions between players and management may have influenced Atalanta’s decision to consider a new coach. If Palladino takes over, he will face the task of calming things down and keeping the team focused in both the league and European competitions.
