Championship side Southampton sacked manager Will Still on Sunday after just five months in charge following a string of poor results that left the club in the relegation zone.

The 33-year-old endured a torrid time at the club, who were in the Premier League last season, collecting only 12 points from 13 matches to sit 21st in the table.

"Will is a great person who gave everything to try and improve performances and results," Southampton said in a press release.

"Ultimately that process has taken longer than any of us would have liked. By making a change now we believe it gives us the best chance of turning things around this season and climbing back up the league table."
