Russell Martin is making his punditry debut following his sacking from Southampton. The 39-year-old was dismissed in December after collecting only five points from 16 games, leaving the Saints at the bottom of the Premier League. His departure came after a crushing 5-0 home defeat to Tottenham, with Ivan Juric stepping in as his replacement.
Martin will appear on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football on March 10 alongside Jamie Carragher, providing tactical analysis ahead of West Ham’s clash with Newcastle. Since Martin’s dismissal, Southampton has only secured four points under Juric’s management, with just one win in 11 games.
Talks have emerged about replacing Juric with Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl. Southampton’s struggles continue as they face almost certain relegation to the Championship. Martin’s return to the public eye as a pundit marks his first public appearance since his dismissal.
