Southampton line up Ivan Juric to replace Russell Martin as head coach

Juric was sacked by Roma last month after 12 matches
He did impress during three-year spell with Torino

Southampton are closing on the appointment of Ivan Juric as Russell Martin’s successor. The former Roma manager, who was sacked by the Italian club last month after being in charge for 12 matches, was on the shortlist to replace Ralph Hasenhüttl at Saints two years ago and is expected to be given the job this time.

Bottom of the Premier League and fighting an immediate return to the Championship after one win in 16 matches, Southampton are searching for their fifth manager in just over two years.
