Southampton are eight points adrift of safety at the foot of the Premier League after winning just once in 16 games..

While Southampton have now made a managerial change, West Ham stood by Julen Lopetegui, who has been under pressure following a poor start to the season

Ivan Juric said he will try to implement a high-intensity brand of football at Southampton as he bids to guide the Premier League strugglers out of the relegation zone.

Southampton have confirmed the appointment of Ivan Juric as their new manager. The Athletic reported on Friday that the Premier League club had agreed a deal with Juric and the Croatian has now signed a one-and-a-half-year deal.

Ivan Juric has predicted Southampton could do an exceptional job by staying up this season and says he is obsessed with developing players.

Ivan Juric was hired as the manager of Southampton on Saturday and was quickly challenged with the task of preserving its place in the Premier League. Juric replaced Russell Martin, who was fired last week with his team on the bottom of the table.

Ivan Jurić – a fan of Napalm Death, Carcass and Obituary – says he’ll bring an “aggressive” style of football comparable to death metal music

Don’t look now, but the Premier League might just have gotten a little more metal. That’s because Ivan Juric has been named as the new manager of the Southampton Football Club, hoping to right their path after a dreadful start to the current season.
