Atalanta Sack Juric After Poor Start; Palladino Favored as Replacement

Atalanta have dismissed manager Ivan Juric following a 3-0 home loss to Sassuolo, leaving the club 13th in Serie A after 11 games.

Juric replaced long-time coach Gian Piero Gasperini in June. He has struggled this season with just two league wins and 11 points behind leaders Inter Milan.

The club thanked Juric and his staff for their efforts. Local media suggest former Fiorentina boss Raffaele Palladino is the leading candidate to take over. Atalanta face Napoli on 22 November after the international break.
