Ivan Juric is set to leave his role as Southampton manager after the club's relegation from the . Sunday's defeat to left the Saints 22 points adrift of safety with only seven games to play.

It is the earliest point in a season a team has been relegated from the top-flight. Juric won just two games after replacing Russell Martin in December, one of which was in the third round.

Juric's sole Premier League win in charge came against fellow strugglers Ipswich back the start of February. He has hailed to secure a victory in any competition since then, losing seven of their eight games in that time.

It means he leaves St Mary's with one of the worst records of any coach to lead a team in the Premier League. Juric picked up just 0.29 points per game, the lowest average for any top-flight manager who has overseen ten or more matches since 1992.

His 107-day spell in charge is the 11th-shortest managerial stint in the Premier League era, just one day more than Claudio Ranieri at in the 2018/2019 campaign. Juric's reign was ended with the use of a relegation clause and at this point it is unclear who could replace him.
