Southampton manager Gordon Strachan has decided not to extend his contract with the club beyond the end of this season for “medical and other personal reasons”.

Southampton released a statement on the club’s website www.saintsfc.co.uk confirming that Strachan would step down as manager at the end of the campaign when his current deal expires because he needed “a break from the demands and pressures associated with being a Premier League football manager.”
