In the quest to avoid being relegated from the Premier League, Southampton FC had decided to sack Hasenhuttl after Sunday’s 4-1 defeat to Newcastle.
The club had wanted to wait until the break for the World Cup before making a decision, but have acted sooner. Southampton are languishing in 18th place after just three Premier League wins from their opening 14 matches.
Hasenhuttl joined Southampton in December 2018 and has consistently kept the club in the Premier League.
They finished a creditable 11th in his first full season in charge after he replaced Mark Hughes, followed by two consecutive 15th-place finishes.
