Serie A Showdown: Juric’s Future at Rome Hangs in the Balance Post-Bologna with Potter’s Strategy in Play

Ivan Juric (for now) it remains in place. Today he led the morning training in a less relaxed atmosphere. Few smiles among the players and many anxious faces. Usual unloading job for those who played yesterday, while those who didn’t take the field or came on in the final minutes carried out the session as a group. The idea of ​​the Friedkins – who left Paris in the evening – is to wait for the break. Roma will play againstUnion Saint-Gilloise and on Sunday against Bologna. Then will come the stop for the national team. It will be a fundamental crossroads since the Giallorossi will face Napoli and Atalanta upon their return. A calendar that scares above all because Dybala and his teammates find themselves closer to the relegation zone than to fourth place. Third-last Venezia are 5 points away, Fiorentina in the Champions League zone 9.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS – The Friedkins are moving without having a defined plan ‘B’ in mind. Among the names probed is Potter’s too. The former Chelsea player comes from a disastrous experience in London, but in Brighton he did an exceptional job. Eyes also on Lampard and Paulo Sousa. But Boniek denies the second: “Stupidity”. Italian leads should not be ruled out with Mancini who could think about it but to date there have been no direct contacts between the parties. Situation constantly updated. And Daniele De Rossi? His return is totally out of the question. The Friedkins have no intention of recalling him.
THE ENVIRONMENT – Yesterday upon returning from Verona a small group of fans waited for the team. Insults and the usual chants: “We only support the shirt.” While this morning in Trigoria there were no supporters present. The team left in the early afternoon to total indifference. Then in the evening the curious protest against the American presidents. A huge statue of King Kong was brought outside the sports center with a sign: “Friedkin, it’s your f***s”. Of note within Fulvio Bernardini was the award ceremony for Artem Dovbyk who received an award from two Spanish journalists for winning the title of top scorer in La Liga last year. The Ukrainian is one of the few happy notes of this troubled start to the season.
