Serie A club AS Roma announced on Sunday that they had fired coach Ivan Juric, making the Croatian the second coach to leave the capital team this season.
Roma fell to 12th place in the league after losing 3-2 to Bologna at home on Sunday, their fourth defeat in the previous five games.

“We would like to thank Ivan Juric for his hard work these past weeks,” Roma said in a statement.
“He handled a difficult environment with the utmost professionalism, and for that we are grateful .
The search for a new head coach has already begun and an announcement will be made in the coming days.”
After firing Daniele De Rossi in September, Roma hired Juric as their third coach in as many months.
Following a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League, Juric, a former coach at Torino, Hellas Verona, and Genoa, began the season with back-to-back home victories against Udinese and Venezia.
However, his successful streak came to a stop there, as Roma won just one of their subsequent six league games.
