Charlie Austin has accused Ralph Hasenhuttl of being "quick to throw the team under the bus" in the wake of his Southampton exit.
Hassenhuttl was sacked by the Saints on Monday following an emphatic 4-1 home defeat to Premier League rivals Newcastle 24 hours earlier. Southampton are in the relegation zone and among the favourites to complete a return to the Championship come May.
Austin, 33, was on the books at Southampton when Hasenhuttl was appointed in December 2018. The Englishman left St Mary's six months later to join West Brom and was happy to lift the lid on his short-lived relationship with Hasenhuttl.
