Southampton Manager Ivan Juric Leaves Club After Relegation Confirmed

Manager Ivan Juric has left Southampton after their Premier League relegation was confirmed on Sunday.

The Croatian lasted just 108 days in charge of Southampton, losing 12 out of his 14 top-flight games.

Juric parted ways with the Saints, using a relegation clause, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Southampton became the first team to be relegated from the Premier League this season at the weekend after losing 3-1 to Tottenham Hotspur.

To earn a stay of execution, they needed Wolves to either draw or lose to Ipswich and to avoid a defeat of their own against Tottenham.

But a late goal from Jorgen Strand Larsen at Portman Road on Saturday and the loss in north London on Sunday confirmed a swift return to the Championship for Southampton.

Southampton’s tally of 10 points so far is the joint-lowest after 30 games on record.

The result against Tottenham left them with 10 points after 31 fixtures and a goal difference of -51.

Southampton have only won two and drawn four matches this season.
