AS Roma have hired Ivan Juric to replace Daniele De Rossi after the latter was sacked following their winless first four league matches of the season, the Serie A side said on Wednesday.
Juric has joined on a one-year deal, having coached Genoa, Crotone, Hellas Verona and most recently Torino.
De Rossi, who spent nearly two decades at Roma as a player, took over as head coach in January after Jose Mourinho was fired. He signed a contract extension until 2027 in June.
“Daniele De Rossi has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the first team,” Roma said in a statement.
“The club’s decision is made in the best interests of the team, to get back on the desired path as soon as possible at a time when the season is still in its early stages.”
Roma, who conceded a late equaliser to draw 1-1 at Genoa in the weekend, have three points after four matches. They host Udinese on Sunday.
