However, Juric has a lot of experience in Italian football, having managed teams like Torino and Roma in the past. He also worked with Atalanta's director, Tony D'Amico, during his time at Hellas Verona. This experience and connection may have contributed to his appointment as the new manager of Atalanta.

Juric will sign a two-year contract with Atalanta, where he will be competing in the Champions League in the next season. Despite facing challenges during his previous stint at Roma, where he was sacked after just two months, Juric is hoping to bounce back with Atalanta.

It's worth noting that Juric's appointment is not the first time a manager has found success after leaving a Premier League team. Former Southampton manager Russell Martin, for example, is now in charge of Rangers.
