(Reuters) -Atalanta on Tuesday appointed former Fiorentina boss Raffaele Palladino as manager with a contract until June 2027, a day after Ivan Juric's sacking, the Serie A club announced.

Juric was fired following a 3-0 home loss to Sassuolo. The 41-year-old Palladino will now be tasked with turning around the club's fortunes after a winless run of seven league games that has left them languishing in 13th after 11 matches this season.
