Ivan Juric has reportedly left Southampton after their 3-1 loss to Tottenham confirmed their relegation from the Premier League.
The Croatian won just two and lost 13 of his 16 games at the helm after replacing Russell Martin in late December.
Southampton have suffered the earliest-ever relegation from the top flight after 31 games – one match less than even the infamous Derby County side of 2007-08.
They could yet finish on the lowest-ever points total in the Premier League, as their total of 10 so far is one less than Derby accrued that year.
Sky Sports News reports that Juric has left with immediate effect.
In a sign of how abject their season has become, Juric recently set his players the challenge of not being ‘the worst team in the history of the Premier League.’
