After barely three months and 14 games in charge at St Mary’s, Jones, has been fired. In November, he took over for Ralph Hasenhuttl, although he was unable to improve the team’s performance.

Southampton New Coach: Former Aston Villa coach Steven Gerrard set for Premier League return, favourite to replace Nathan Jones as Southampton head coach – Check Out

The club chiefs let Jones go this morning after the outcome served as the breaking point. Ruben Selles, the first team coach, has been appointed interim manager of Southampton, a position he also held for a short time following Hasenhuttl’s dismissal. Now that the next permanent manager is in the spotlight, a well-known name is now in the lead. The front-runner is former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard. Gerrard is one among the candidates for the Leeds position stated above, while former Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder has emerged as the clear favourite.

Les Ferdinand, the director of football at QPR, has asserted that Michael Beale, the current manager of the Rangers, was given the Ibrox job PRIOR to van Bronckhorst’s selection. The former England striker claims that when Gerrard left Ibrox for Aston Villa, Beale was offered the top position but chose to follow him.
