Italian club Monza, promoted back to Serie A, confirmed that Ivan Juric will take charge as head coach. After weeks of negotiations to end Paolo Bianco's contract, the club and Bianco reached a consensual termination, clearing the way for Juric's appointment.

The coaching change comes as Monza prepares to open the 2024‑25 Serie A season on 22 August, facing defending champions Inter Milan at San Siro. The club also continues its summer transfer work, with midfielder Hernani mentioned as a potential target.

With the coaching vacancy resolved, Monza can focus on preseason preparations, squad building and the challenge of remaining in Italy's top flight.
