Southampton sack Will Still after dismal start to Championship campaign

Southampton Sack Will Still

Southampton have dismissed manager Will Still after just five months in charge, ending a brief and disappointing spell for the 33-year-old.

The Saints are sitting close to the relegation zone. Still was appointed in May following his departure from French side Lens, taking on his first managerial role in English football.

His time at St Mary’s has been marked by poor results, with the Saints winning only two of their 13 Championship matches this season.

The club’s latest defeat, a 2-0 loss to Preston North End on Saturday, left them 21st in the table and prompted boos from the home crowd.

We can confirm that we have this evening parted ways with Men’s First Team Manager Will Still.

Assistants Ruben Martinez, Clement Lemaitre and Carl Martin have also left their roles. Men’s under-21 head coach Tonda Eckert will take over first-team duties on an interim basis.
