Super Eagles midfielder Joe Aribo will be playing under a new manager at Southampton following the appointment of Nathan Jones.
Southampton confirmed Jones’ appointment on their website on Thursday morning.
Jones will replace Austria’s Ralph Hassenhuttl who was fired a few days ago.
Welshman Jones, 49, has left Championship side Luton Town to take up the role and has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract.
Hasenhuttl, who was in charge for nearly four years, was sacked on Monday after Sunday’s 4-1 defeat by Newcastle.
“I’m really proud to be given this opportunity,” said Jones.
“I know a lot about the club from back in the days of The Dell, to coming here to St Mary’s, and it’s a wonderful football club.”
Jones watched from the stands as Saints beat Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday.
His first game in charge will be away at Liverpool on Saturday.
