New Southampton boss Ivan Juric insists the Premier League’s bottom side can do “something exceptional” in their relegation fight as he prepares to implement his “death metal” style of play.

The Croatian was in the stands for Sunday’s goalless draw with Fulham as he awaited a work permit, and will take charge for the first time when Saints host West Ham on St Stephen's Day.

Juric revealed his new employers initially reached out two years ago when he was in charge of Torino, and while he remained at the Serie A side the Southampton project always remained a “dream.”

The 49-year-old said: “It will be a very tough job and I know that in the history nobody stayed in the Premiership with this situation, but like I said, I think there are a lot of good players, and we have much better in some moments of the game.
