Roma coach Ivan Juric may have saved his job with a 1-0 win over Torino in Serie A on Thursday, The Associated Press reported.
Juric had been under pressure after Roma was routed 5-1 by Fiorentina on Sunday.
But Paulo Dybala scored a first-half goal for Roma and the Giallorossi hung on to end a three-game winless streak in the Italian league.
Juric replaced the fired Daniele De Rossi last month.
Roma moved up to 12th while Torino remained ninth.
Fiorentina moves up to 4th place Fiorentina moved up to fourth place with a 1-0 victory at last-place Genoa for its sixth straight win across all competitions.
Robin Gosens scored midway through the second half and Fiorentina goalkeeper David De Gea made a leaping save in the final minutes.
Mario Balotelli, who signed with Genoa on Monday, wasn’t ready to play yet.
Also, fifth-place Lazio won 5-1 at promoted Como with two goals from Valentin Castellanos as both sides ended with 10 men.
Luca Mazzitelli scored for Como with a spectacular bicycle kick.
