LondoncTypeface:> Southampton have sacked manager Russell Martin after their wretched Premier League return continued with Sunday’s 5-0 humiliation at home to Tottenham. The 38-year-old moved to St Mary’s from Swansea last summer and oversaw a top-flight return at the first attempt thanks to their Championship play-off final win against Leeds. But Martin has struggled since Southampton’s promotion, with Sunday’s home humbling by Spurs the final straw for a side sat rock-bottom of the Premier League on five points after 16 matches. The club said in a statement: "We can confirm that we have taken the difficult decision to part ways with our Men’s First Team Manager, Russell Martin.” (PA Media/dpa)
