Southampton have sacked manager Nathan Jones after three months in charge of the Premier League club.
This was disclosed via a statement issued by the club on Sunday.
The statement read: “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.”
The former Luton boss took over from Ralph Hasenhuttl in November shortly before the league paused for the Qatar World Cup.
Jones lost seven of his eight Premier League games in charge, with his sole victory coming against Everton in January.
Southampton lost 2-1 at home to Wolves on Saturday after being undone by a sensational second-half comeback from 10-man Wolves at a hostile St Mary’s, with Joao Gomes scoring a late decider to pile more pressure on Jones.
Jones went immediately down the tunnel at the full-time whistle, and later described the comeback from Wolves as a “sucker-punch”.
The 49-year-old leaves Southampton bottom of the table, with 15 points from 22 games. They are currently four points adrift of safety.
