Despite facing challenges in his previous roles at Roma and Southampton, Juric remains optimistic. He pointed out that the nature of football can be unpredictable, and even the best teams can experience setbacks. In his case, a disappointing season led to his departure from both clubs.

However, Juric sees his appointment at Atalanta as a positive opportunity. He believes that the experience gained during his time at Roma and Southampton has made him a stronger coach. He worked with talented players at Roma and gained valuable insights into the Premier League at Southampton.

One of the key differences between his previous roles and the Atalanta job is the timing. Juric prefers to start from pre-season and work with the team from the beginning. He also plans to focus on set plays and statistics, areas where he felt he could improve during his time at Southampton.

When asked about succeeding Gasperini, Juric emphasized that he is not intimidated. He has spoken with Gasperini, who is now in charge of Roma, and has been advised to find his own path rather than trying to replicate his predecessor's style.

Juric believes that the Atalanta squad is well-equipped, and he does not foresee significant changes. He plans to introduce new ideas and tactics, while also building on the team's existing strengths.

The new coach is eager to start his tenure and lead Atalanta towards success. With his experience and confidence, he is well-positioned to make a positive impact on the team.
