Southampton appoint new manager

Southampton have confirmed the appointment of Nathan Jones as their new manager

Published 10th Nov 2022

The 49-year-old has joined on a three-and-a-half-year contract after leaving Championship club Luton Town.

It follows the sacking of Ralph Hasenhuttl who was in charge for nearly four years.

Speaking about joining Southampton, Nathan Jones said: “I’m really proud to be given this opportunity.

“I know a lot about the club from back in the days of The Dell, to coming here to St Mary’s, and it’s a wonderful football club.

“A lot of my family are Southampton fans, which doesn’t half help, and I feel really, really proud to be given the opportunity, and I’m really looking forward to getting started.

“Obviously, I wanted to manage in the Premier League, I’ve dreamt of that since I’ve become a coach or a manager, but this club in particular – because of how it’s run, because of the structure, because of how they look deeper than just results – really appeals to me.”
