Southampton parted ways with manager Mauricio Pellegrino on Monday with the south-coast club sitting just a point above the relegation zone in the Premier League.
The news was announced on the club's official Twitter feed and came just two days on from a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the English top flight:

Pellegrino, 46, was only appointed Southampton boss last June as a replacement for the departed Claude Puel.
The Argentinian struggled ever to build any momentum with his side at the St Mary's Stadium, and he has paid for Southampton's inconsistent form.
