Southampton sacked Juric

A 3-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in North London sealed Southampton’s fate.

The club has since announced it will part ways with boss Juric.

“We would like to thank Ivan and his staff for their honesty and hard work as they fought against the odds to try and keep us up,” the club said in a statement.

“With relegation to the Championship now confirmed, we believe it is important to give fans, players and staff some clarity on the future as we head into a very important summer.”

Bumpy season

Juric took over from Russell Martin in December.

However, Southampton has lost 12 of their last 14 games and managed just one win under the Croatian’s reign.

The club now holds the unwanted record for the earliest relegation in league history, with seven games still remaining in the season.

Juric joined Southampton after being dismissed by Roma, following a disappointing six-week spell in charge of the Italian side last November.

Meanwhile, Simon Rusk has agreed to step in as interim manager for the final seven fixtures of the campaign.
