Atalanta Appoint Former Southampton Coach Juric as Gasperini's Heir
- Ivan Juric signed a two-year deal on Friday to become Atalanta manager, replacing Gian Piero Gasperini after his nine-year tenure.
- Juric left Southampton two months earlier following their confirmed Premier League relegation, while Gasperini departed Atalanta on Saturday to join AS Roma.
- Juric, Gasperini's former pupil and assistant, previously succeeded him at Genoa in 2016 and will now lead Atalanta after their recent Europa League win and third-place Serie A finish.
- Juric won two of 16 games managing Southampton and lasted less than two months at Roma, but he will experience Champions League football for the first time as Atalanta's coach.
- Juric faces a challenging task replicating Gasperini's success, who led Atalanta to five Champions League qualifications in seven seasons and European triumphs.
