As noted, the English Premier League club fired Nathan Jones after only three months in charge at St Mary’s.

Nathan Jones was fired as manager of Southampton on Sunday, February 12 after a string of defeats left the south coast side rooted to the foot of the table, and four points adrift of the pack.

Former assistant manager Sellés, 39, who was also caretaker manager when Ralph Hasenhüttl was sacked, led Southampton to a surprise victory over big-spending Chelsea in his first game in charge since Jones was sacked.
