Southampton have sacked manager Nathan Jones after just over three months at the club.
The Saints suffered another Premier League defeat on Saturday at the hands of fellow strugglers Wolves, despite having a man advantage for over an hour. Former Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina was sent off after less than half an hour, just minutes after Carlos Alcaraz put Southampton in front.
A second-half own goal from Jan Bednarek and a late strike from Joao Gomes condemned Southampton to their third consecutive Premier League defeat against three teams also languishing in the bottom half of the table.
