Mauricio Pellegrino replaces Claude Puel as Southampton manager barely a week after he was sacked by the board.
Claude Puel helped Southampton Finnish 8th position in the already concluded season. The former boss was not considered to be a long term manager by the board just like previous managers Mauricio Pochettino and Ronald Koeman who both left after successful spells as boss at St Marys.
