Mauricio Pellegrino sacked by Southampton
Southampton have announced the dismissal of Mauricio Pellegrino.
The 46-year-old has left the Saints balancing just above the relegation zone after a run of just one win in 17 Premier League outings.
Saints released a statement on the club website, which read: "Southampton Football Club can today confirm that it has parted company with First Team Manager Mauricio Pellegrino.
"Assistant Manager Carlos Compagnucci and Assistant First Team Coach Xavier Tamarit have also parted company with the club.
"We would like to place on record our thanks to Mauricio, Carlos and Xavier for their efforts during their time with Southampton, and wish them well for the future.
"The club will look to appoint a new management team as soon as possible, with the search for a replacement already underway.
This has been a long time coming. Pellegrion has not impressed at all in his time at the club. You begin to wonder if they made the right decision by sacking claud puel considering he is doing very well in leciester.
They just have not been the same since Ronald Koeman left. They need a manager who can look to exploit their fantastic youth academy while playing attacking football.
