Juric most recently coached AS Roma earlier this season, where he managed 12 games at the helm earlier this season as Daniele De Rossi's replacement before being axed.

The Croatian coach has also had spells at Genoa and Torino in Serie A.

Southampton are bottom of the Premier League with five points from 16 games, having won just once.
