Southampton fire their coach

Southampton coach Russell Martin was dismissed from his position after his team’s heavy home defeat against Tottenham (0-5) this Sunday during the 16th day of the Premier League. Red lantern in the standings with 13 defeats and only 5 points taken since the start of the season, Southampton had already conceded five goals at home against Chelsea (1-5), 10 days ago.

“Current Under-21 manager Simon Rusk will take charge of the team on an interim basis until we announce a permanent replacement”specifies the Saints press release. Arriving in July 2023, Russell Martin notably allowed the club to return to the Premier League last summer.
