Southampton sacked manager Russell Martin shortly after his side’s 5-0 drubbing at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday left them rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table.
The humiliating defeat, in which Spurs scored five times in the first half, left Southampton on five points from 16 matches.
Martin was the second Premier League manager sacked on Sunday after second-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers parted company with Gary O’Neil .
