Southampton have "parted company" with manager Ralph Hasenhuttl this morning, after four years in charge.

Yesterday's 4-1 Premier League defeat at home to Newcastle left them third from bottom in the table.

The Saints are one point from safety having won just once in their last nine matches.

First Team lead coach Ruben Selles is set to take charge for Southampton's League Cup clash with Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday.

#SaintsFC would like to express its sincere thanks to Ralph Hasenhüttl for all of his efforts, as well as the unwavering commitment he has shown throughout his time as manager. pic.twitter.com/pNGnUC5z29
