Southampton dismissed manager Mauricio Pellegrino because of unsatisfactory results, the official website of the "saints".

Pellegrino led the English club before the start of the current season, replacing Claude Puel at this post, and signed a three-year contract. However, after 30 rounds Southampton scored only 28 points and takes 17th position in the standings, having a gap from the relegation zone by only one point.

Together with Pellegrino the club was left by his assistants Carlos Compancchi and Xavier Tamarit.

The last match for the 46-year-old Argentinean, under whose leadership the "saints" won only one of the last 17 Premier League games, was a retreat from Newcastle with a score of 3: 0.
