On Monday, Southampton confirmed that Ivan Juric has left his duties as head coach, a day after the club’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed.
The Saints have become the first club from Europe’s major leagues to be relegated this season following their 3-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
His dismal run also meant that Southampton became the earliest team ever to be relegated from the English top flight, seeing their demotion to the Championship confirmed with seven matches still left to play.
