Southampton have appointed former Stoke boss Mark Hughes as their new manager until the end of the season.
The 54-year-old replaces Mauricio Pellegrino, who was sacked by Saints on Monday with the team one point and one place above the relegation zone.
They had won once in 17 games, with eight league matches left this season.
Hughes has been out of work since he was sacked by Stoke in January, leaving after four and a half years with the Potters in the relegation zone.
