Now seven Premier League managers sacked – Monday official announcement | OneFootball

It is now a total of seven Premier League managers who have been sacked this season, so far…

With the latest dismissal on Monday (7 April 2025).

Ivan Juric coming to a ‘mutual agreement’ that he should be sacked.

I suppose losing to Tottenham at the weekend was pretty embarrassing.

Southampton hoping obviously for at least some kind of new manager bounce (again), this time to avoid becoming the new record holders of fewest Premier League points in a season.

Derby County’s record of 11 points under threat, with the Saints stuck on 10 points with seven PL matches remaining.

The six previous sackings during this 2024/25 season, in order, were Erik ten Hag (Man U), Steve Cooper (Leicester), Gary O’Neil (Wolves), Russell Martin (Southampton), Julen Lopetegui (West Ham) and Sean Dyche (Everton).

Official Southampton statement – 7 April 2025:

‘We can confirm that we have today reached an agreement with our Men’s First Team Manager, Ivan Jurić, to end his spell at the club.

Ivan came to Southampton at a tough time and was tasked with trying to improve a squad in a difficult situation. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen performances progress the way we had hoped, but we would like to thank Ivan and his staff for their honesty and hard work as they fought against the odds to try and keep us up.

With relegation to the Championship now confirmed, we believe it is important to give fans, players and staff some clarity on the future as we head into a very important summer.

The process of finding a new manager to lead us as we look to secure an immediate return to the Premier League has now begun and is being led by Group Technical Director Johannes Spors.

In the meantime, Simon Rusk has agreed to take charge of the team as Interim Manager for the remaining seven fixtures of this season and will be assisted by Adam Lallana.

We remain incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of our fans. Their continued dedication and passion, despite what has been a very tough season, is remarkable and is appreciated by everyone at the club.
