Ivan Jurić
Ivan Jurić (pronounced [ǐʋan jǔːritɕ]; born 25 August 1975) is a Croatian professional football manager and a former player who played as a midfielder. He is the head coach of Serie A club Atalanta.
A midfielder, Jurić made his professional debut at Hajduk Split in 1993. He went on to play for Sevilla, Albacete, Šibenik, Crotone, and Genoa, where he retired in 2010. Jurić also earned five caps for Croatia in 2009.
Jurić has spent the majority of his managerial career in Italy, where he managed Mantova in Lega Pro, as well as Hellas Verona, Torino and Roma in Serie A. He signed for Premier League club Southampton in December 2024, before leaving in April 2025. Jurić then returned to Serie A as the manager of Atalanta in June 2025.
Jurić was born in Split, Yugoslavia on 25 August 1975. There, he began his football career with Hajduk Split, making his debut in 1993. Jurić then moved to Spain to join Sevilla in July 1997. Following promotion from the Segunda División in 1998–99, he made his La Liga debut on 7 November 1999 as a 68th-minute substitute for Nicolás Olivera, in a goalless home draw with Athletic Bilbao, and was sent off. His first goal in the division came on 19 March 2000, in a 4–0 home win over Numancia played in Jerez de la Frontera due to previous crowd trouble at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium. He totalled 12 games that season, but his team finished in last place and was relegated. Jurić scored his second goal on the final day of the season, in a 3–2 home loss to Rayo Vallecano.
In January 2001, Jurić joined fellow Segunda División club Albacete who beat Club Brugge in trying to secure his services. He played 20 games in his one season with the club, opening the score in a 2–1 home win over Real Murcia on 18 February. After a short time back in Croatia with Šibenik, he moved to Italy in 2001 to join Serie B team Crotone. Jurić then moved to Genoa in 2006, following his mentor Gian Piero Gasperini, his former head coach at Crotone. He announced his retirement, at the age of 34, in June 2010, and expressed interest in becoming a football coach.
Jurić made his international debut for Croatia in a friendly match against Romania on 11 February 2009, when he was 33. He played for the national team five times, without scoring any goals. His final international was a September 2009 World Cup qualification match against Belarus.
After retiring as a footballer, Jurić stayed at Genoa as a youth team coach for the 2010–11 season. He passed the UEFA A coaching exam in June 2011.
On 5 July 2011, he joined new Inter manager Gian Piero Gasperini as one of his first team coaches. He was sacked alongside Gasperini and the rest of his staff in September of that year. Jurić then reunited with his mentor as an assistant coach at Palermo in September 2012.
