Nathan Jones

Nathan Jones has been sacked by Southampton following defeat to 10-man Wolves, which leaves the Saints bottom of the Premier League.

Sport Republic acquired the club in January 2022 hoping to rebuild Southampton into a top-10 side but they are facing the prospect of playing in the Championship for the first time since 2012. He lost nine of the 14 matches he oversaw in all competitions and alienated the fan base with numerous comments. Jones departs the Saints after 94 days in charge, just three months into a three-and-a-half year contract.

A statement on the club's official website said: "Southampton Football Club can confirm it has parted company with men's first-team manager Nathan Jones. "First-team coaches Chris Cohen and Alan Sheehan have also left the club.

With 16 games remaining this season, the Saints are three points adrift of Bournemouth and Everton inside the relegation zone and a point further behind Leeds in 17th place. And a run of successive defeats by Aston Villa, Brentford and Wolves, which prompted concerted protests from the club's fans, ultimately cost the Welshman his job. The former Luton boss guided Saints to the Carabao Cup semi-finals and the FA Cup fifth round but tasted victory just once in his eight league fixtures and collected three points from a possible 24.

The Welshman was appointed as Saints manager on November 10th, following the sacking of previous incumbent Ralph Hasenhuttl. Poor Southampton form. Southampton ...

Wolves had to play over an hour with 10 men, but still somehow managed to come back and win the game against Southampton, leaving the Saints rooted to the bottom of the table. Jones' final game in charge was an awful result against Wolves - his side losing 2-1. The Saints have pulled the trigger.

Nathan Jones has said he was “disappointed and frustrated” after walking straight down the tunnel following Southampton's loss to Wolves.

“It’s understandable. “They showed a little bit more quality in the final third than we did. “In the second half we had a real glorious chance to go two up, and you just fear then. “We were front-footed, aggressive, went after the game, created enough chances to have taken more of a lead, but we didn’t. "I have never done that in my life before," Jones said of his decision to head down the tunnel at the final whistle. But he felt staying and engaging with the crowd could have made matters worse.

Though they reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, beating Manchester City in the last eight, and are still in the FA Cup, Southampton’s form this season has been miserable. Jones departs with the shortest managerial tenure in Southampton’s history. Jones departs the Saints after 94 days in charge, just three months into a three-and-a-half year contract.

Southampton gambled on Nathan Jones's appointment after sacking Ralph Hasenhüttl but they ignored the red flags and paid the price.

Before those moves Brighton lost Graham Potter to Chelsea and so moved for Roberto De Zerbi, whose work at Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk meant he was a name on the lips of Premier League executives. He was never going to turn down a three-and-a-half-year contract and the opportunity to manage in the Premier League for the first time. Overhauling the dynamic of their squad last summer was always going to be a brave step. On Saturday a young Saints fan wafted a giant cardboard P45 in Jones’s direction and his exit is a full stop at the end of an error. January arrival Mislav Orsic, part of the Croatia squad that finished third at the World Cup in December, was also omitted from the squad against Wolves. Bednarek, who irritated Southampton supporters by saying he had signed for a “bigger club”, wanted to play regularly before the World Cup but made just one league start before being recalled in January.

He implied, whether in a clumsy bit of phrasing or genuine belief, that he had been one of the best managers in Europe. Frank is proof managers from the Championship can prosper in the Premier League, but only some of them. He had the World Cup, when Southampton’s players were scarcely required in Qatar, to serve as a kind of pre-season. He went through nine formations in the space of three games. They were quick to pick up on his habit of referring to the team as “they”. Nathan Jones was duly sacked by Southampton after even the people who employed him accepted that he was hideously miscast as their manager.
