The newly appointed manager of Southampton, Ivan Yurich, believes that his team will manage to avoid relegation to the Championship.
— This will be quite a challenging task, and I know that no team in a similar situation has managed to retain its place. But I have many wonderful players at my disposal, so I am optimistic.
I have seen the spirit of the players, and we have taken the first step to improve our results. I believe we are capable of creating something unique. The guys need to be maximally motivated and do what no team in the Premier League has achieved, — said Ivan Yurich.
It should be added that after 17 rounds Southampton is in last place with 6 points in its account.
