Ralph Hasenhüttl was sacked on 7 November 2022 due to a poor start to the season, which saw Southampton dragged into the relegation zone.[5] He was replaced with Luton Town manager Nathan Jones.[6] However, after losing nine of 14 games in charge, Jones was sacked as the team dropped to the bottom of the league.[7][8] Rubén Sellés took charge until the end of the season, and despite victories over Chelsea and fellow strugglers Leicester City, he was unable to keep Southampton in the Premier League.[9] On 13 May 2023, Southampton's eleven-year stay in the top flight came to an end after a 2–0 home loss to Fulham resulted in their relegation to the EFL Championship.[10]
