Southampton have finally confirmed the appointment of Nathan Jones as the club’s new manager following the exit of Ralph Hasenhuttl.
The Austrian was relieved of his duties in the aftermath of the defeat to Newcastle and left St Mary’s after just under four years at the helm. A number of names were linked with the post but former Luton boss Jones was immediately installed as the favourite - the Hatters previously confirming that they had granted permission for the Premier League side to open discussions with the 49-year-old.
Those talks appear to have progressed relatively smoothly with recent reports suggesting that a deal has been agreed - the Saints now confirming the move on a three-and-a-half year deal.
