Football/Ivan Juric

Despite falling to defeat in his first game as Southampton coach, Ivan Juric praised many elements of his side's performance.

Southampton have announced their successor to Russell Martin, with Ivan Juric taking charge at St Mary's on an 18-month contract.

Ivan Juric claimed his side should have managed the game better as they surrendered a lead to lose 3-1 at Manchester United.

Southampton sit on nine points with nine games left, and Ivan Juric's team need another three to surpass Derby County's record-low tally.

Ivan Juric's first match in charge of Southampton saw them fall to a 1-0 defeat at home to West Ham.
