Roma’s spooky season lingers as Ivan Juric haunted by return to Verona | Nicky Bandini

Defeat at his former club could spell the end for coach who has faced an uphill task in following Daniele De Rossi

Halloween has been and gone, but Roma’s past keeps coming back to haunt them. Terrorised last month by Edoardo Bove, the graduate of their own academy who scored one goal and set up another in a 5-1 defeat by Fiorentina, the Giallorossi travelled on Sunday to face Verona.

This was the club where Roma’s manager, Ivan Juric, built his reputation by steering a side that yo-yoed between Italy’s top two tiers throughout the 2010s to consecutive top-half finishes. It’s also a place he feels profoundly connected to. “Whenever I say: ‘I’m going home,’ I mean I’m going to Verona,” said the Croatian. “My soul is linked to this city.”
