Premier League club Southampton announced Monday they had sacked manager Ralph Hasenhuttl after a poor start to the season.
The south coast club, in the relegation zone after Sunday’s 4-1 defeat against Newcastle, said it was the “appropriate time to make a change”.
“Hasenhuttl, who was appointed in December 2018, departs having made a significant contribution to the club, overseeing some memorable results and also playing a key role in the development of our club infrastructure, identity and playing squad,” Southampton said in a statement.

First-team coach Ruben Selles will take charge of the side on an interim basis.
Hasenhuttl becomes the fifth Premier League manager sacked this season, following Bournemouth’s Scott Parker, Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel, Wolves’ Bruno Lage and Aston Villa’s Steven Gerrard.
He was the fourth-longest serving manager in the Premier League behind Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Thomas Frank.
