The Saints are sitting dangerously close to the relegation zone…
Southampton have dismissed manager Will Still after just five months in charge, ending a brief and disappointing spell for the 33-year-old.
Still was appointed in May following his departure from French side Lens, taking on his first managerial role in English football.
However, his time at St Mary’s has been marked by poor results, with the Saints winning only two of their 13 Championship matches this season.
The club’s latest defeat, a 2-0 loss to Preston North End on Saturday, left them 21st in the table and prompted boos from the home crowd.
In an official statement, the club confirmed that assistants Ruben Martinez, Clement Lemaitre and Carl Martin have also left their roles.
Men’s under-21 head coach Tonda Eckert will take over first-team duties on an interim basis.
Technical director Johannes Spors said: “Will is a great person who gave everything to try and improve performances and results. Ultimately that process has taken longer than any of us would have liked.
“By making a change now we believe it gives us the best chance of turning things around this season and climbing back up the league table.
“I would like to thank Will, Ruben, Clement and Carl for their efforts and wish them well for the future.”
