Premier League club sacks manager over poor form

Southampton Football Club have announced the exit of Ivan Juric as its man after their Premier League relegation was confirmed

Ivan Juric was in charge of the club for just 108 days losing 12 out of his 14 Premier League games. According to reports, the Croatian had a termination clause in his contract if Southampton got relegated from the Premier League.

The Saints wrote their name in the history book of the Premier League by becoming the earliest team ever to be relegated from England's top-flight league, with seven games to go following their 3-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Juric was appointed in the week before the 2024 Christmas on an 18-month contract, with a break clause which would be reviewed at the end of the season. He took charge of 16 matches in charge in all competitions and just two wins - and one of those was in the FA Cup and the other against Ipswich Town in the league, with 13 defeats and just one draw.
