Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino insists he is not worried about being sacked despite being fourth from bottom of the table after a run of nine league games without a win.

"It is part of our job," he said. "The biggest risk in football is to work in football. In football you need results, they are everything.

When asked if he had thought about losing his job, Pellegrino added: "I don't think about that because it is part of our life. I try to do my best.

"Obviously in football there are three results possible. Everything can pass, and every week history can change. I understand the situation of the fans because we have the same feeling. We are responsible for our situation."
