Ivan Juric leaves Southampton after relegation

Ivan Juric allegedly left Southampton yesterday after the premier league club dropped.

The Croat assumed his duty in December, after the release of Russel Martin, but failed to encourage improvement of the results.

The saints lost 12 of their 14 games, winning only one and sitting the bottom of the table with their drop-out in the history of the Premier League-after a 3-1 defeat in Tottenham.

The 0.29-Southampton picked up only four points in Ivan the racing 14 Premier League (W1 D1 L12), which gave Croatia the lowest point average per point per game of any manager who will take over 10+ games in the competition (0.29). Unhappily. pic.twitter.com/newtfrfwgd

History is repeated for Juric

This is the second time Juric left the club this season. He took over in Roma in September last year after Daniele de Rossi’s departure, but lasted only 12 games, losing five.

Juric signed a 18-month contract in St. Mary’s and, speaking after the Spurs game, he said he was willing to stay and keep their offer to return to a top flight immediately.

He said, “If we take a long way to get back here, I’m ready.

“We have a lot of young players, talented players. They are good, but they have no experience. There is a completely different physicality between us and other teams in the Premier League. The same thing happened to Leicester and Ipswich. The gap is huge, but from this point the players can grow up and improve and be ready for the Premier League;

We fired too easily – Juric

This is the second time Southampton have been discarded from the Premier League in three years, and Juric believes that a thorough examination is needed to ensure that this does not happen the next time they play among the Elite of England.

“It is clear that we have not competed in the Premier League for the last two years,” Juric said.

“We have left too much and that means huge problems in many situations. Now it’s important to understand all the mistakes and try to create something good.”
