Southampton Dismiss Manager Will Still After Meagre Results
On Sunday Southampton removed manager Will Still from his position after a mere 16 matches in control with the club hovering perilously near the Championship drop zone.
The 33 year old stepped into the role during May drawing from his strong early managerial experiences in France at Reims and Lens.
That said he managed victory in just two of 13 league fixtures at St Marys and leaves the side one position and three points clear of the bottom three.
Will is a fine character who committed fully to boosting our displays and outcomes said Southampton technical director Johannes Spors.
In truth that journey has stretched out beyond what we hoped for. Acting with this adjustment at this juncture we reckon provides the strongest shot at flipping our season and rising through the division.
Still seething over the drop from the Premier League last term the Southampton supporters aired their anger by urging owners Sport Republic to get out of our club in the midst of Saturdays 2 0 loss against Preston.
