Gian Piero Gasperini discusses Ivan Juric’s struggles at Roma: “He took on a very hot potato.”

Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini weighed in on Ivan Juric’s difficult moment at Roma.

In an interview with Radio Anch’io Sport, Gasperini – a close friend and mentor Juric with whom he collaborated in the past – said, “It’s a very explosive situation, born after De Rossi’s dismissal.”

“He took on a very hot potato, now only the results can save him.”

“It seemed like he’d gotten a reaction out of the team, but now they’re struggling again.”

“Ivan is a good coach, he knows how to work, if he is supported he can produce results.”

“The situation in Rome is very difficult, he is also quite alone, he is putting his face on everything. He is doing everything he can.”
