Ivan Juric, the unemployed manager who recently failed to manage Roma is set to take on a new challenge in his career. After agreeing to become the new head coach of Premier League side Southampton. With the task of pushing the mortar up a mountain to maintain their status in the top flight.

Sky Sport Italia reports that the Croatian has built up a reputation during his time at Torino. ทางเข้า UFABET 

But his latest job as the boss of ‘Giallo Rossi’ was a complete failure, losing 5 of 12 games (won 4, drew 3). And he was sacked at the beginning of November. Even though he had only just replaced Daniele De Rossi at the beginning of September. 

The 49-year-old Kongming was only a little over a month old. When he was approached by the ‘Saints’ to take over the reins from Russell Martin, who was sacked last week. 

The overall negotiations are going smoothly, with verbal agreements already in place. Leaving only the signing of official contracts and the launch in the next 48 hours. 

The initial contract that Yuric received was for 18 months with conditions. That can be terminated at the end of the 2024-25 season after an evaluation of performance. 

If they can continue to survive in the top league, the contract will be adjusted to be binding until June 2027  .

However, the away game at Fulham (December 22) is probably too early to do the job. So let Simon Rusk take charge for another game, leaving Juric to take charge of the game at St. Mary’s against West Ham on Boxing Day. 

Southampton ‘s gamble is interesting because Juric has no experience coaching outside of Italy. Or his playing days were spent in Croatia , Spain and Italy. Will the language barrier be a barrier?
