Southampton have parted company with manager Mark Hughes, the club have announced. "We would like to express our thanks to Mark and his staff for all of their efforts during their time at St Mary's," a statement read. "First team assistant coach Kelvin Davis will lead the team for Wednesday's Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley." Hughes took over at St Mary's last March and guided them to Premier League survival and an FA Cup semi-final but was unable to inspire a better campaign this time around. Hughes, who played for the club in the late 1990s, leaves the club following Saturday's 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
