Southampton sacked manager Nathan Jones on Sunday after the team’s home defeat to 10-man Wolves in the Premier League.

The Saints are bottom of the table after 22 matches and are four points off safety.

Since the World Cup break, Southampton has lost six of its seven matches with just a win over struggling Everton.

The club’s first team coaches Chris Cohen and Alan Sheehan have also left the club.

Jones is the club’s second managerial dismissal of the season after Ralph Hasenhüttl was let go in November last year.

The Saints are in action next in the league away to Chelsea on Saturday.
