Nathan Jones: Southampton sack manager after just 14 games and four months in charge | Football News

Southampton have parted company with Nathan Jones just four months into his first managerial position at a Premier League club.

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.

Also departing with Jones are first-team coaches Chris Cohen and Alan Sheehan.

First-team lead Coach Ruben Selles will take charge of training and prepare the team ahead of next weekend’s game against Chelsea.
