Southampton sacks manager Martin after 5-0 thrashing by Spurs
The HinduSouthampton sacked manager Russell Martin shortly after his side’s 5-0 drubbing at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday left them rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table. Martin was the second Premier League manager sacked on Sunday after second-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers parted company with Gary O’Neil. “We would like to take this opportunity to thank Russell and his staff for all the hard work and dedication they have given the club on and off the pitch over the last 18 months.” The 38-year-old Martin was booed during his side’s capitulation against Tottenham and missed the fifth goal as he had already gone to the changing rooms. Credit to them, they stuck with us after a first half that wasn’t acceptable.” Four Premier League managers have been sacked this season with Steve Cooper leaving Leicester City and Dutchman Erik ten Hag being dismissed by Manchester United.
