Mark Hughes Sacked as Southampton Manager

Hughes' Saints tenure ends after eight months in charge, with club 18th in Premier League table; Kelvin Davis placed in temporary charge

Mark Hughes has been sacked as Southampton manager despite Saturday's 2-2 draw against his former club Manchester United.
Saints found themselves 2-0 up at home to United on Saturday after just 20 minutes, with Stuart Armstrong and Cedric Soares getting the goals.
But the visitors fought back thanks to Romelu Lukaku and Ander Herrera, though a point arguably did either side little good in the bigger picture, with Saints still in the bottom three of the Premier League at the end of matchday 14.
A statement from the club read: "Southampton Football Club can today confirm it has parted company with first team manager Mark Hughes.
