“Haunted by the Past: Ivan Juric Faces Crucial Showdown Against Former Club Verona”

Roma's spooky season continues as Ivan Juric faces a haunting return to Verona. Following a defeat at his former club, the coach's position may be in jeopardy as he struggles to fill the shoes of Daniele De Rossi. Although Halloween has passed, Roma's past seems to linger ominously. Last month, they were overwhelmed by Edoardo Bove, a product of their own academy, who contributed to a disheartening 5-1 loss against Fiorentina. This past Sunday, the Giallorossi traveled to Verona, a city where their manager, Ivan Juric, established his reputation. During his tenure, he guided a team that fluctuated between Italy's top two divisions throughout the 2010s to achieve consecutive top-half finishes. Juric has a deep emotional connection to Verona, stating, “Whenever I say: ‘I’m going home’, I mean I’m going to Verona. My soul is linked to this city.” As he returns to a place that holds significant meaning for him, the pressure mounts, and the stakes are high for both him and the team.
