Southampton have sacked embattled manager, Mauricio Pellegrino on Mnday, March 12, 2018, with the team just one point and one place above the Premier League relegation zone with eight games left in the season.
Pellegrino, a former Argentina defender, was appointed in June as the successor to Claude Puel.
Southampton have won just one of their past 17 league matches and lost 3-0 at Newcastle United on Saturday and will face Wigan on Sunday for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals.
This is Southampton’s sixth successive season in the Premier League and have not finished lower than 14th in any of the previous five.
