AC Monza has turned to Ivan Jurić as their next head coach, bringing in a manager whose recent career reads like a frequent flyer program gone wrong. The 49-year-old Croatian is set to take over at the Serie A club, with reports from Sky Sport Italy indicating an agreement in principle that could keep him at Monza through 2028, with an option extending to 2029.
A coach on the rebound, and then some
Jurić built something genuinely impressive at Torino, where he spent three seasons from 2021 to 2024, turning a perennial relegation battler into a respectable mid-table outfit. He took over at Roma in September 2024, a gig that lasted about as long as a Roman summer. From there, he crossed the English Channel to Southampton in December 2024, with that stint ending in April 2025.
His most recent role was at Atalanta. A seven-match winless streak left the Bergamo club sitting in 13th place in Serie A, and he was dismissed on November 10, 2025.
