Southampton sacked manager Ralph Hasenhuttl on Monday after slumping into the Premier League relegation zone following a dismal 4-1 defeat against Newcastle.
The south coast club swung the axe after their eighth loss in 14 league games on Sunday left them languishing in 18th place.
"Southampton Football Club can confirm it has parted company with men's first-team manager Ralph Hasenhuttl," the club said in a statement.
The Austrian took over from Mark Hughes nearly
four years ago and his highest finish in the Premier League was 11th in the 2019/2020 season.
He also led Southampton to the FA Cup semi-finals in the following season.
