Newcastle United, Leeds & Aston Villa’s Premier League rivals announce managerial departure

Southampton have sacked Nathan Jones following Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Welshman was in charge for just 14 games after leaving Championship side Luton Town to succeed Ralph Hasenhuttl at St Mary’s.

Jones was in charge for the Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle United, which Eddie Howe’s side won 3-1 on aggregate.

The 49-year-old won just one Premier League game whilst at the helm - leaving the South Coast club bottom of the table, four points from safety.

Short Southampton club statement

“Southampton Football Club can confirm it has parted company with Men’s First Team Manager Nathan Jones.

“First Team Coaches Chris Cohen and Alan Sheehan have also left the club.

“First Team Lead Coach Rubén Sellés will take charge of training and prepare the team ahead of next weekend’s game against Chelsea.”
