Southampton sacked manager Ralph Hasenhuettl yesterday after a poor start to the Premier League season that has left them in 18th place after six defeats in their last nine games.

Sunday’s dismal display in their 4-1 home defeat by Newcastle United left the south-coast club languishing in the relegation zone after only three wins from 14 league games so far with just 14 goals.

Hasenhuettl, who took over at St Mary’s Stadium in December 2018, guided Southampton to an 11th-place finish in his first full season before finishing 15th in the next two campaigns.
