In Southampton, England, Ivan Juric was appointed manager of Southampton Football Club during a challenging season. He signed an 18-month contract as he took over from Russell Martin, who was dismissed following a string of poor results that left the team at the bottom of the Premier League table. The club is currently nine points adrift of safety, having lost six out of their last seven matches. Juric, who previously managed in Italy, expressed optimism about his new role and aims to instill an aggressive playing style that he believes will resonate with the fans. Juric previously had a brief stint with Roma, where he managed only 12 games before being let go. The decision to hire Juric is part of Southampton's ongoing search for stability, as this marks the fourth managerial change since Martin was appointed. The team has been struggling to perform, despite occasionally encouraging displays, but the upcoming matches will be crucial for their survival hopes in the league.
