Southampton have sacked manager Mark Hughes after eight months in charge.
The Saints, who drew with Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday, are 18th in the table.
First-team assistant coach Kelvin Davis will take charge of the team for the game against Tottenham on Wednesday.
Hughes joined the south coast side in March, two months after being sacked by Stoke City.
The club were one point above the relegation zone at the time and the 55-year-old led them to safety last season by securing two wins from their last four games.
They are struggling again this season and have won just three of their 22 league games.
