EPL: Southampton get new manager to replace Russell Martin

Southampton have agreed a deal to appoint Ivan Jurić as new head manager to replace Russell Martin.

This was disclosed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano in a tweet via his X account on Friday.

According to Romano, the deal between Southampton and Jurić is set to be signed today.

“Southampton have agreed deal to appoint Ivan Jurić as new head coach to replace Russell Martin. Contract set to be signed today.

“Verbal agreement in place on contract terms; formally working on exit terms from AS Roma.

“Ivan Jurić said yes to Saints FC, Röhl won’t join,” Romano tweeted.

Recall that Southampton had sacked Martin after their 5-0 thrashing by Tottenham Hotspur few days ago.

Martin guided Southampton to promotion last year in his first season in charge.
