Southampton has hired Ivan Juric as their new manager on an 18-month contract, pending work permit approval. He replaces Russell Martin, who was sacked as the team sits at the bottom of the Premier League. Juric, 49, has a strong background in Italian football, having managed teams like Torino and Hellas Verona. He aims to improve the team's performance and connect with fans through a more aggressive playing style. Currently, Southampton is nine points from safety, with only one win in the Premier League this season. They will face Fulham on Sunday.
