News about Ivan Juric

According to a recent report, Jose Mourinho is considering his future as Roma boss, with his current deal set to end in the summer. The Special One, 60, is in his final year with the Serie A club, and will come to an end at the end of June. And with no new labor talks between Mourinho and Roma, it appears that the Portuguese boss could leave Stadio Olimpico in the summer to look for new opportunities elsewhere.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO: It was another action-packed weekend in Italy as Serie A saw many more twists and turns. Spezia, a Minnows Spezia, dealt Inter Milan a devastating blow to their potential titles, Napoli extending their advantage, and Juventus riot against Sampdoria. Sportsmail delves into Serie A's weekend action, giving you ten things we've learned.

Nathan Jones, a DRIAN KAJUMBA, was protesting it from the beginning. He inherited a struggling team with some players who were already playing in this season, with one of whom was destined to be sacked if they were to leave or need to spark a change of belief. He was not the unanimous pick of the Southampton hierarchy, with strong support for Torino boss Ivan Juric among those outweighed by principal decision maker Rasmus Ankersen's long-term interest in Jones dating back to the former's Brentford days. And then there were the supporters, who were shocked by the appointment of a manager from a Championship team and doing nothing to mask it, leaving Jones stunned by some of the vitriol circulating in the streets before he had even managed to get to the half way point of his first Premier League home game.

Jones' dismissal was announced on Sunday morning, the call being made following a 2-1 loss to 10-man Wolves the day before, making his permanent managerial tenure the shortest in Southampton history. Jones played only one of his eight league games in charge, losing the other seven, but he did help get them into the EFL Cup semi-finals and the fifth round of the FA Cup. Ruben Selles, Southampton's head coach, will take over training ahead of Southampton's game to Chelsea on Saturday, and the club is currently searching for their third manager of the season.

With more games in store on Monday and Tuesday, the full round of fixtures has yet to conclude, but Italy's Serie A Serie A evoked up plenty of talking points over the weekend.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO of Sportsmail has dissected the weekend's coverage and taken a closer look at ten things we learned from the Italian top flight.

Torino 2-1 Milan: Torino beat AC Milan 2-1 on Sunday night, bringing the Turin side up to ninth place in Serie A, with Koffi Dji tapping in from a perfectly weighted cross and Aleksey Miranchuck's low shot home to put the hosts up to their third position within two minutes of each other.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO IN ITALY: What have we learned this week from the first game week of Serie A? The first step in a long marathon season, which will be postponed for 52 days this winter due to the World Cup in Qatar, was sufficient to help us understand the top division's complex dynamics and answer many of our questions.

Nikola Vlasic, a West Ham midfielder, has joined Torino on a season-long loan, less than a year after signing for the Irons. Next season, the Italian club will also have the opportunity to sign the 24-year-old permanently. Vlasic earned a £35 million contract at the London Stadium last August, but he hasn't been able to please David Moyes.
