Southampton Football Club have announced that Henrik Kraft has decided to step down from his role as chairman of the club.
It’s been confirmed that Dragan Šolak, majority shareholder of the Premier League club’s ownership group will be taking on the role.
Dragan Šolak has made comments on the change to Saints’ hierarchy, he said: “I would like to thank Henrik for the dedication and passion he has invested in his role.
“Whilst I am pleased with many aspects of the club’s management I am deeply disappointed with the football results this season.
“We will be strengthening our football management team in the near future, and we will share details of that as soon as things are confirmed.”
Saints currently sit rock bottom of the Premier League, they’ve recorded just one win in their 20 games this season, having already replaced manager Russell Martin just last month.
Šolak also sent a message to the fans, he said: “Our aim at the start of the season was to stay in the Premier League and I know our fans share in my frustration at how this season has gone so far.
“I ask everyone to continue supporting the club with as much passion and dedication as they have shown all season as we navigate the rest of the season together.”
Southampton will face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Thursday night, in what will be their first fixture without Henrik Kraft as chair.
