Southampton sack Nathan Jones as Everton face new relegation battle challenge

Southampton have sacked manager Nathan Jones after just eight Premier League games in charge as there is another managerial change for Everton's relegation rivals.

The 49-year-old was appointed as Ralph Hasenhuttl's successor in November after the Austrian was relieved of his managerial duties. But now after just 14 matches in charge on the south coast, the former Luton Town manager follows his predecessor through the exit door.

His final match came in a 2-1 defeat at home to Wolves as their fellow strugglers came from a goal behind, with a man disadvantage, to hand the Welshman a ninth defeat. He picked up five wins during his time at St Mary's but the only one in the Premier League came at Goodison Park against Everton.
