Fans were quick to voice their reactions on social media. Some expressed relief at the change, hoping a new manager could revive Atalanta’s domestic form.
One supporter, @EbenMan, tweeted:
“It was painful to watch Atalanta keep drawing games. Maybe this is the shake-up we needed.”
Others were more sympathetic, lamenting the constant managerial changes, with @YamPoi commenting:
“Juric didn’t even get time to settle in. Gasperini’s shadow is huge, and no one can fill it overnight.”
According to France 24, Juric’s appointment came after the departure of long-serving and highly successful Gian Piero Gasperini, who left Atalanta for Roma after nine years in charge.

The Croatian coach had faced a tough act to follow, and his record at previous clubs hinted at an unpredictable tenure. He had a short-lived spell at Roma last year, lasting under two months, and subsequently managed Southampton, stepping down when the team became the earliest-ever relegated side in Premier League history.
While Atalanta’s domestic form has faltered, their European campaign has been comparatively brighter. In the Champions League, they currently sit 16th in their group, collecting seven points from four games, suggesting the team retains potential under different circumstances.
Meanwhile, supporters remain hopeful that a new managerial appointment can stabilize the squad and bring back the attacking style Atalanta is known for.
With Juric gone, Kamaldeen's side now faces the challenge of selecting a replacement capable of reigniting their domestic ambitions while balancing European commitments.
