    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The report also claims that Juric could now lose his job after being appointed as the club’s head coach just 40 days back. The Croatian had replaced club legend Daniele De Rossi at the helm after they got off to a poor start in the new season. However, not much has changed since he took charge of the team as they struggle at the 11th position on the league table with just two wins from their first nine outings.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    A bunch of Roma fans reportedly waited for the players outside the Rome Termini train station at 2 AM in the night to confront them. Four players, Paulo Dybala, Leandro Paredes, Mancini, and Lorenzo Pellegrini approached the angry supporters and tried to pacify them.
