Official: Juric is the new coach of Monza

Monza have officially appointed Ivan Juric as their new coach following promotion to Serie A, as Paolo Bianco walked away for a role at Pisa.

The club fought their way through the Serie B play-offs to regain top flight status after just one year away, but Bianco decided he wanted another challenge, and terminated his contract by mutual consent.

Juric has had a torrid few years since leaving Torino in the summer of 2024.

He lasted just 12 games at Roma before being fired in November 2024, then was hired by Southampton in the Premier League only to be sacked there too in April 2025 after just 16 matches.

His Atalanta career in the team shaken by losing long-term coach Gian Piero Gasperini was ended following only 15 competitive games in November 2025.

Juric’s other previous club experiences were at Verona, Genoa, Crotone and Mantova, after being assistant manager to Gasperini.

This announcement means the only Serie A club still officially without a coach is Napoli, who first need Max Allegri to terminate his contract with Milan.
