Southampton SACK three members of Ralph Hasenhuttl's backroom staff but opt to stick with the Austrian manager in a major shakeup of their coaching set-up after losing 10 of their final 13 Premier League games

Southampton have parted with three members of Ralph Hasenhuttl’s backroom staff in a major shakeup of their coaching setup.

Southampton have confirmed the departures of first team assistant coach’s Dave Watson, Kelvin Davis and Craig Fleming from the St Mary’s club.

Southampton finished 15th this season but won just one of their final 13 games, losing 10.
