SOUTHAMPTON manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is reportedly on the brink of being sacked after a poor start to the Premier League season.
The Saints have won just two games from eight and are sat 16th in the table.
Hasenhuttl’s job is on the line with the Saints considering a change of management
According to The Telegraph, defeat at Prem champions Manchester City at the weekend could spell the end for the 55-year-old Austrian.
A loss at the Etihad would be Southampton’s third successive defeat in the top flight.
Southampton head into the fixture off the back of a 2-1 home defeat to Everton, and before that, they lost 1-0 to Aston Villa.
Hasenhuttl has survived the sack on a number of occasions since his 2018 arrival.
The Saints lost 9-0 TWICE under Hasenhuttl to Leicester City and Manchester United respectively.
But him guiding his team to Prem safety kept him in a job.
There is a feeling that the club now needs change and requires a coach who can help develop a model of younger, developing talents.
However, there is reportedly no favoured candidate to take over at present.

Southampton’s poor end to last season has also been taken into account.
Despite ten defeats in the final 13 matches, Hasenhuttl survived a summer review with the majority of his backroom staff leaving instead.
