Ivan Juric drops sly hint about his admiration to manage Sunday's rivals | OneFootball

Juric admits his football philosophy is more risk-based similar to the ones at Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur.

At this point, the majority of the Southampton fans will agree that they have gotten fed up with boss Ivan Juric. And why won't they? After all, of the 25 claimable points wasted, a big chunk of the blame falls on Juric.

In fact, if Saints fans had their way, Juric would already be gone, with a petition banning him from ever managing a Premier League club again.

But hey, it's quite clear that this wouldn't translate into reality any day. Like it or not, Juric’s Top Flight chances aren’t over yet, even after this Southampton disasterclass.

And while we just thought it couldn't get any unimaginable ahead, boss Juric now seems firm in making all Saints fans witness this.

Well, here’s the catch, Juric may have just hinted at his future plans as he teeters on the edge of losing his Southampton job. Recently, ahead of the upcoming matchday against Tottenham, Juric was seen having great admiration for the club's playstyle.

Juric's comment stresses Southampton fans ahead of Sunday clash

As quoted by the Daily Echo, Juric said: "I prefer to watch Bournemouth and Tottenham games. They are intense, aggressive, and there are risks in some moments. I think there is much better."

Now, this praise may be a genuine one, but for a moment just think why has it come before Southampton's clash against the Spurs? Or at the perfect moment when Tottenham foresees a time of managerial change soon.

Sure, it’s just speculation, but if there’s even a shred of truth to it, Saints fans are in for some serious despair. Just imagine, the Saints doing Championship rounds next season, while boss Juric continues in the Premier League.

And to top it all off, what if he actually thrives at Spurs? Southampton have already seen a long list of players thrive after leaving. Who knows? Maybe, boss Juric will begin a new managerial one likewise.
