Former Premier League Managers Sarri, Juric Hospitalized in Italy, US With Serious Illnesses

Two notable football managers, Maurizio Sarri and Ivan Juric, have recently been hospitalized due to health issues. Sarri, currently managing Lazio, was rushed to hospital after feeling unwell during a training session amid high temperatures in Rome but was reported to be returning to training after thorough medical checks. Juric, the newly appointed Atalanta head coach and former Southampton manager, was hospitalized in Italy with serious inflammation of his upper airways complicated by a bacterial infection of the epiglottis. Atalanta confirmed Juric is responding well to intravenous antibiotic treatment and is expected to be discharged soon, though he missed Atalanta's first pre-season training session. Juric reflected on his challenging but educational tenure at Southampton, where he managed for just 107 days before the club’s relegation. Both managers are showing positive signs of recovery while their respective clubs have provided updates on their conditions and future availability.
