Southampton are reportedly set to part ways with manager Ivan Juric at the end of the season, with Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl identified as their top target. The Saints have endured a dismal campaign, winning just one game since Juric took over in December.

They currently sit on nine points and need two more from their last 11 matches to avoid matching Derby County’s record-low tally of 11. Juric was appointed on an 18-month deal but is not expected to continue as Southampton prepare for life in the Championship. Rohl, who previously worked at the club under Ralph Hasenhüttl, was considered after Russell Martin’s departure, but compensation demands stalled negotiations.

However, as a Championship side, Southampton would pay a reduced fee for his services. Meanwhile, midfielder Tyler Dibling, 19, has attracted interest from Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Bayern Munich. Southampton remain 13 points from safety, having conceded 65 goals in 27 games, including heavy defeats to Brighton, Chelsea, and Brentford.
