Southampton Sacks Head Coach, Nathan Jones After Three Months
Premier League side, Southampton made it known on Sunday that it has dismissed its head coach, Nathan Jones.
Jones endured a torrid time after taking over at Southampton in November following the dismissal of Ralph Hasenhuttl.
The 49-year-old Welshman struggled to win over Southampton fans, who were unconvinced by his lack of Premier League experience.
The final straw for the Southampton board came on Saturday when Jones’ side lost 2-1 at home to 10-man Wolves.
“Southampton Football Club can confirm it has parted company with Men’s First Team Manager Nathan Jones,” a Southampton statement said.
“First Team Coaches Chris Cohen and Alan Sheehan have also left the club. First Team Lead Coach Ruben Selles will take charge of training and prepare the team ahead of next weekend’s game against Chelsea.”
Southampton’s defeat left them bottom of the table and four points from safety.
Jones moved to Southampton from Luton, where his impressive work on a low budget earned him the Championship Manager of the Season award at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
