Southampton
have parted company with first team manager Mauricio Pellegrino with the team just one point and one
place above the Premier League relegation zone with eight games left this
season.
Assistant manager Carlos Compagnucci
and assistant first-team coach Xavier Tamarit have also parted company with the
south coast club.
A Southampton statement read: "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 under way
The Saints have won just one of their past 17
league matches and lost 3-0 at
Newcastle United on Saturday.
Pellegrino, 46, was appointed
in June as the successor to Claude Puel.
Saints hope to have a new manager in place
before facing Wigan on Sunday for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals.
