Southampton has parted ways with men’s first team manager Ivan Juric. The Saints confirmed their relegation into the Championship yesterday. They have had a horrible season, getting only ten points from a possible 31.

Ivan Juric contributed to the club’s poor form. Since his appointment in December 2024, he won only one game out of 14 Premier League matches, with an average of 2.7 goals conceded per match.

He becomes the second Southampton manager to be sacked this season.

The club posted the termination of Ivan Juric’s contract on its official club website. It reads:

“Ivan came to Southampton at a tough time and was tasked with trying to improve a squad in a difficult situation. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen performances progress the way we had hoped, but we would like to thank Ivan and his staff for their honesty and hard work as they fought against the odds to try and keep us up.

With relegation to the Championship now confirmed, we believe it is important to give fans, players and staff some clarity on the future as we head into a very important summer.

In the meantime, Simon Rusk has agreed to take charge of the team as Interim Manager for the remaining seven fixtures of this season and will be assisted by Adam Lallana.”

Ivan Juric only lasted 105 days as Southampton manager.
