November 07, (THEWILL) – Following Sunday’s loss to Newcastle, Southampton have announced that they have fired manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl.
At St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday, Newcastle United utterly humiliated the Saints, defeating them 4-1 with goals from Miguel Almiron, Joe Willock, Chris Wood, and Bruno Guimaraes.
Southampton is currently 18th in the English Premier League standings after their eighth loss of the 2022/2023 season.
According to a club statement in the news: “Southampton Football Club can confirm it has parted company with Men’s First Team Manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl. First Team Assistant Coach, Richard Kitzbichler, has also today left the club.
“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.
“However, we now believe it is an appropriate time to make a change. Everyone involved with the club would like to express their sincere thanks to Ralph for all of his efforts, as well as the unwavering commitment he has shown throughout his time as manager.
“First Team Lead Coach Rubén Sellés will take charge of the side on an interim basis for our game on Wednesday night. The club will be announcing a permanent replacement in due course.”
