Officially. Ivan Juric has become the head coach of Southampton
Ivan Juric has become the new head coach of Southampton. The Croatian signed an 18-month contract, replacing Russell Martin in the role.
Details: The English club announced this on their social media. The specialist, who worked as a coach in Italy for ten years, quickly found a new job after being dismissed by Roma at the beginning of the current season. Under his leadership, the "Saints," who are near the bottom of the Premier League table, hope to improve their results.
Reminder: This will be Juric's first experience working outside Italy. Throughout his career, he has coached Roma, Torino, Verona, Genoa, Crotone, and Mantova.
Additionally, in 16 Premier League matches, Southampton has earned only 5 points, and their deficit from the crucial 17th position is already 9 points. Juric's debut will be tomorrow, when Southampton plays away against Fulham.
