Southampton sack Nathan Jones after defeat against 10-man Wolves
Southampton have sacked manager Nathan Jones with the club entrenched in a desperate fight for Premier League survival.
Jones’ departure was announced on Sunday, less than 24 hours after a 2-1 home defeat by 10-man Wolves left the Saints at the foot of the table four points adrift of safety.
A statement on the club’s official website said: “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 Ruben Selles will take charge of training and prepare the team ahead of next weekend’s game against Chelsea.”
