The most unfortunate coach, Juric, was fired by three teams within a year; after seven Serie A rounds without a win, he was dismissed by Atalanta.

Coaching is an extremely stressful profession; poor performance often results in being fired, even more than for players. The unluckiest coach this year is Croatian coach Juric, who has been dismissed by three different clubs within the past year—an utterly miserable record.

In this Serie A round, Atalanta lost 0-3 at home to Sassuolo, enduring back-to-back league defeats and a seven-game winless run (5 draws, 2 losses). Shortly after, Atalanta officially announced the dismissal of head coach Juric. After 11 rounds in Serie A, Atalanta has 2 wins, 7 draws, and 2 losses, totaling 13 points and ranking 13th, positioned in the lower half of the table—an outcome neither the club’s management nor fans wanted to see.

In November 2024, Juric was sacked by Roma after just 53 days in charge; in April 2025, his Southampton side was relegated from the Premier League as the bottom club, with Juric having managed the Saints for only 106 days. Now dismissed by Atalanta, where he served from June 6 to November 11—a span of just five months—he recorded 4 wins, 8 draws, and 3 losses in 15 matches across all competitions, a very poor performance. Any club considering hiring Juric next will need to think carefully, as this Croatian coach’s record at club level has been extremely disappointing.
