Atalanta are preparing to part ways with head coach Ivan Jurić following a disappointing run of results in Serie A. The club from Bergamo decided to make the change after a series of underwhelming performances that have left the team sliding down the table.

Jurić’s final game in charge was a crushing 0–3 home defeat to Sassuolo, a result that proved to be the final straw for the Atalanta board.

According to multiple Italian reports, Raffaele Palladino is expected to take over as the new head coach. The Italian tactician earned widespread praise for his recent spell at Fiorentina, where he showcased an attacking and disciplined brand of football.

After 11 matches, Atalanta sit 13th in the Serie A standings, having gone seven games without a win - a run that ultimately cost Jurić his job.
