You can try to check role in sign in action.Set different returnUrls for different roles.Here is sample code:

if (ModelState.IsValid)
         {
                    var user = await UserManager.FindAsync(model.UserName, model.Password);
                    var returnUrl = "defaultUrl";
                    if (user != null)
                    {
                        if (UserManager.IsInRole(user.Id, "role1"))
                        {
                            returnUrl = "url1";
                        }
                        if (UserManager.IsInRole(user.Id, "role2"))
                        {
                            returnUrl = "url2";
                        }
                    }
                    var result = await _signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(Input.Email, Input.Password, Input.RememberMe, lockoutOnFailure: false);
                    if (result.Succeeded)
                    {
                        _logger.LogInformation("User logged in.");
                        return LocalRedirect(returnUrl);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, "Invalid login attempt.");
                        
                    }
                   
         }
         return View();
