Southampton sack manager after three months in charge

Southampton have parted company with Nathan Jones just three months into his first managerial position at a Premier League club.

The former Luton boss took over from Ralph Hasenhuttl in November, shortly before the league paused for the Qatar World Cup.

Jones had guided Saints to the Carabao Cup semi-finals and the FA Cup fifth round, but lost seven of his eight Premier League games in charge, with his sole victory coming against Everton in January.

Southampton lost 2-1 at home to Wolves on Saturday after being undone by a sensational second-half comeback from 10-man Wolves at a hostile St Mary’s, with Joao Gomes scoring a late decider to pile more pressure on Jones.

Jones, 49, leaves Southampton bottom of the table, with 15 points from 22 games. They are currently four points adrift of safety.
