After their fourth defeat in the last five Serie A games, AS Roma have parted company with coach Ivan Juric.

After the 2:3 home defeat in the Italian soccer championship against FC Bologna on Sunday, the club from the capital announced the decision in a short statement. The search for a new coach, the fourth this year, has already begun. Roma are only in twelfth place with 13 points after twelve games.

Roma have only played twelve games under the leadership of the 49-year-old Croatian. Juric only took over from Daniele de Rossi in mid-September. The Italian took over from José Mourinho in January of this year.
