Southampton became the fifth club already this season to sack their manager after parting ways with Ralph Hasenhuttl on Monday (November 7).
The Austrian was relieved of his duties on the back of Sunday’s 4-1 home defeat by Newcastle, with the Saints languishing in 18th and one point off safety following just three wins from their first 14 games of the season.
Ruben Selles has stepped up as interim manager for the time being, but Luton boss Nathan Jones is already the front runner after Southampton were given permission to speak to the Welshman just hours after Hasenhuttl was sacked.
