Roma moves forward with Ivan Juric, at least for one more match. Especially due to the many close commitments, the Friedkins decided not to decide and to confirm the Croatian coach after the defeat in Verona against Hellas. The former Torino manager had already shown up in Trigoria on Monday morning to start preparing for Thursday’s match against Union Saint-Gilloise and will remain in his place at least until the European match.
But Juric now seems to have his days numbered and the November break seems to be the right one for yet another turnaround on the Giallorossi bench. Among the candidates is also Vincenzo Montella, Turkey’s current technical commissioner who knows the Giallorossi environment very well.
Meanwhile, through the TMW notebooks, former Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero launched his appeal: “I’m not Jesus Christ, saving is a big word. But I would like to make a contribution, put my experience at the service of my favorite team, Roma. Today I see an American president who does not achieve results. Football is not an exact science but you don’t have to suffer bad luck either. I have lived through many eras of Rome, I am a fan. And for the love of the Giallorossi I was the only idiot president who, with a splendid fan base like that of Sampdoria, declared his sympathy for Roma, obviously getting grumbles from his own fans. How would you like to help Roma? If they deemed it appropriate, I would apply to try to help out, for free. I am Roman and a Romanist. I want to help Roma with my experience, this team hasn’t been to the Champions League for a few years despite the high salary. It’s a shame.”
