Southampton unveil former Roma boss as new manager in bid to avoid relegation Ivan Juric is ready for a ‘big challenge’ as he takes over a Southampton side struggling at the foot of the Premier League table.
Juric replaced Daniele De Rossi as Roma boss in mid-September but lasted less than two months in the Italian capital after claiming only four wins from 12 games.
The deal, subject to final work permit approval, sees the Croatian succeed the sacked Russell Martin with Saints bottom of the Premier League.
Southampton are nine points from safety ahead of their trip to Fulham on Sunday, having won only once in the Premier League this season.
Southampton have appointed Ivan Juric as their new manager on an 18-month deal.
