Ivan Juric is officially the new coach of Roma. The announcement was made by the Giallorossi club itself with the following statement: “AS Roma announces that Ivan Juric is the new Technical Manager of the First Team, until June 30, 2025. Croatian, born in 1975, after gaining a very long experience as a footballer in Croatia, Spain and Italy, he began his journey as a coach in youth football and then as a technical assistant alongside Gian Piero Gasperini. He made his Serie A debut in 2016-17 on the Genoa bench, after having obtained – in the previous season – promotion to the top division with Crotone, the first in the history of the Calabrian club. From 2019 to 2021 he led Hellas Verona, accompanying the Gialloblù to two consecutive salvations, also developing several players. In 2021 he took on the role of manager of Torino, remaining in charge until 2024 and becoming the second coach with the most benches in the last 20 years of the Granata club’s life. Good work, Ivan!”.

It’s been four years since Angel Gomes, a midfielder born in London but of Portuguese origins, decided to leave England and the Manchester United youth sector to take a new path in his career as a footballer. Lille in Ligue 1 believed in him and signed him once his previous deal with the Red Devils had expired, leading him to make his debut with the Three Lions ten days ago. Given his personal growth, it was practically impossible for his name not to end up on the notebooks of some top clubs. Starting obviously with those in the Premier League. In this regard, Football Insider talks about an initial approach from Newcastle who would like to take advantage of the contract expiring with the transalpine club next summer to bring the 2000-born player home.
Now it’s official: Andy Carroll is a new striker for Bordeaux, a historic French football club that ended up in the fourth division due to well-known financial problems.
Joel Matip is close to a new adventure in the Premier League. The Cameroonian defender born in Bochum, Germany, according to talkSport, is close to signing with West Ham. But beware of possible surprises: the central defender is also liked by Fulham and Wolverhampton.
In 2022, Bayern Munich was convinced that Florian Wirtz would land in Bavaria to join the richest squad of champions in the entire Bundesliga. Surprisingly, however, the Leverkusen talent decided to renew and stay at the home club Bayer. A choice that left the management of the Munich club stunned. Since that summer two years ago, Bayern’s interest has never diminished, despite the refusal. And so it cannot be ruled out, as reported by SportBild, that there could be a new assault in the summer. Still under contract until 2027, Wirtz, however, has revealed his desire to take a further step of growth in his career.
It’s all confirmed: Anthony Martial has chosen AEK Athens to write a new chapter in his career. The Greek club announced it on their channels.
The official signing of Ivan Perisic with PSV has arrived. The announcement was made by the Eindhoven club itself, which communicated that the agreement with the Croatian footballer, formerly of Inter, Bayern Munich and Tottenham, will last until the end of the current season. Therefore, until June 2025.
Joao Pedro’s future seems to be in England. The former Cagliari striker was close to joining Salernitana in the past but in the end the deal fell through. Now his destination will be the English Championship and more precisely Hull City. According to what our editorial team has gathered, the club across the Channel will have the player sign a two-year contract.
