Juric Takes Serie A Helm at Monza After Tumultuous Coaching Stint
29 Jun
Summary
- Monza appointed Ivan Juric as coach following promotion to Serie A.
- Paolo Bianco departed for a role at Pisa after promotion was secured.
- Juric faced recent coaching challenges at Roma, Southampton, and Atalanta.
Monza has officially named Ivan Juric as their new head coach, coinciding with their promotion back to Serie A. The decision comes after Paolo Bianco chose to leave his position to pursue an opportunity with Pisa. Juric, who previously assisted Gian Piero Gasperini, faces his latest Serie A challenge with Monza.
His recent coaching career has been marked by difficulties. Juric was dismissed from Roma in November 2024 after just 12 games. He then managed only 16 matches at Southampton before his sacking in April 2025. Most recently, his tenure at Atalanta concluded in November 2025, having coached the team for only 15 competitive games.
Juric's prior coaching experience includes roles at Verona, Genoa, Crotone, and Mantova. With this appointment, Napoli remains the only Serie A club still without an officially confirmed coach, awaiting Max Allegri's contract resolution with Milan.
