Ivan Jurić – a fan of Napalm Death, Carcass and Obituary – says he’ll bring an “aggressive” style of football comparable to death metal music

Ivan Juric said he will try to implement a high-intensity brand of football at Southampton as he bids to guide the Premier League strugglers out of the relegation zone.

Southampton have confirmed the appointment of Ivan Juric as their new manager. The Athletic reported on Friday that the Premier League club had agreed a deal with Juric and the Croatian has now signed a one-and-a-half-year deal.

Don’t look now, but the Premier League might just have gotten a little more metal. That’s because Ivan Juric has been named as the new manager of the Southampton Football Club, hoping to right their path after a dreadful start to the current season.
