Southampton sack Nathan Jones after only 94 days in charge

Coach Nathan Jones followed in the footsteps of predecessor Ralph Hasenhuttl when he was fired by Southampton just 94 days after taking charge. Jones was fired from his position as coach of Southampton immediately after the 1-2 loss to Wolves on February 11th.

Jones replaced Hasenhuttl, who was fired by St Mary’s in November of last year. However, after only winning one of eight Premier League games this season, Jones suffered the same fate as Hasenhuttl.

Southampton’s poor record under Jones has left them at the bottom of the table with 15 points after 22 rounds, four points behind the safety group. The club’s leadership had to quickly decide to remove the Welsh strategist in the hope of turning the situation around.

Frank Lampard may be targeted by Southampton after being fired by Everton in January. Another face that could replace Nathan Jones is Steven Gerrard after the English coach’s contract with Aston Villa expired at the start of the season.

“You could hear the fans chant ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’, and it was a real toxic atmosphere. At the stadium, you could feel the unhappiness of the fans for quite some time.

“We’ve seen the negativity coming out in his post-match press conferences, and it’s been a difficult time all around.

“He’d struggled perhaps with the jump into the biggest league in the world, the players were shorn of confidence and there were a few messages publicly, which possibly could have been kept in-house.

“But, ultimately, he had to go because he just wasn’t winning football matches. The fans were [also] not happy with his style of play and with his tactics.” Darren Lewis said.

In conclusion, the firing of Coach Nathan Jones from Southampton demonstrates the high-pressure nature of professional football and the expectations that come with leading a team in one of the world’s most competitive leagues.
