Ivan Juric is close to signing a contract with Southampton to succeed Russell Martin and coach the Portuguese midfielder
Just five days after Russell Martin’s departure as manager, Southampton are set to announce his successor: Ivan Juric, who in turn replaced Daniele de Rossi at Roma , but that adventure only lasted 12 games.
According to the BBC, the Croatian will sign a contract with the Saints until the end of the season, with the aim of ensuring maintenance in their year back in the Premier League , although the situation is complicated: only five points in the first 15 rounds.
This will be his first venture outside Italy, with the 49-year-old having previously coached Torino – where he was for the last three seasons – Verona, Genoa , Crotone and Mantova, as well as the Giallorossi . He now takes charge of Mateus Fernandes’ side .
