Chelsea legend & ex-boss Frank Lampard emerges as shock candidate to take over at Roma

Premier League

Roma

<p>Croatian coach Juric only inherited the reins at Stadio Olimpico in September, but is seeing questions asked of his future after just 10 games at the helm. He has won only four of those fixtures, with a fourth defeat suffered when seeing the Giallorossi go down 3-2 at Verona last time out.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Roma’s ownership team are said to be already exploring possible replacements for Juric, with the Friedkins holding talks during recent visits to London and Paris. Goings on in the Italian capital will have been one of the topics up for discussion.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>According to <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Roma/04-11-2024/roma-juric-esonerato-da-sousa-a-lampard-i-possibili-sostituti.shtml " target="_blank"><em>Gazzetta dello Sport</em></a>, former Juventus and Inter star Paulo Sousa – who has previously spent time coaching at Fiorentina and Salernitana - is favourite to take over at Roma as he returns to Italy from a stint at Dubai-based Shabab Al Ahli.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Euro 2020-winning boss Roberto Mancini is also in the frame, alongside the vastly-experienced Claudio Ranieri. Gazzetta claims that Lampard is another option being considered, despite his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/frank-lampard-told-failed-manager-ex-chelsea-team-mate-england-players-no-respect/bltb8ca3c98218c3543" target="_blank">mixed record across two spells in charge of Chelsea and a stint at Everton</a>.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>The Friedkins are in the process of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/everton-finally-find-buyer-billionaire-roma-owner-dan-friedkin-completes-toffees-takeover/bltc7412f379f8600b7" target="_blank">trying to complete a takeover at Everton</a> and have been informed by those at Goodison Park that ex-England international Lampard may be a decent option for them in Serie A, although no definitive decisions on Juric and the next man up have been made as yet.</p>
