Physical altercation between Juric and Mancini as Roma stars face furious fans – report

According to Corriere dello Sport, Gianluca Mancini and Roma coach Ivan Juric had a physical altercation during the half-time break last night. The Giallorossi defender also joined Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Leandro Paredes, who faced furious fans after their return to the capital.

Roma lost 5-1 to Fiorentina on Sunday, and multiple reports in Italy claim that the Giallorossi could now sack Juric, who was hired only 40 days ago.

Juric made two tactical substitutions in the first half last night, replacing Angelino and Bryan Cristante with Manu Kone and Nicola Zalewski.

According to Corriere dello Sport, tension erupted inside the dressing room during the half-time break when Juric and Mancini had a physical altercation in front of several witnesses.

Corriere dello Sport reports that the atmosphere inside the Giallorossi locker room has become toxic, which is one more reason why Juric is on the brink.

According to Repubblica, Roma director Florent Ghisolfi has cancelled a trip to Paris to attend an emergency meeting at Trigoria today.

Corriere dello Sport adds that 60 furious Roma fans waited for the players outside the Rome Termini train station at 2 a.m. last night to confront them.

Four players, Dybala, Paredes, Mancini, and Pellegrini, talked to them, tried to calm them down, and explained the situation.

Roma fans are expected to protest again on Thursday when Roma host Juric’s ex-club, Torino. However, it remains to be seen if the Croatian will still be in the dugout.
