2000–01 Southampton F.C. season

During the 2000–01 English football season, Southampton Football Club competed in the FA Premier League.

Season summary
Southampton enjoyed their best form in several years after it was announced that Glenn Hoddle was replacing Dave Jones as manager on a permanent basis.

But Hoddle caused outrage by walking out on the Saints in late March and taking the managerial vacancy at Tottenham Hotspur the next day. Coach Stuart Gray took over on a temporary basis, and with Southampton's good form continuing he was rewarded with the job on a permanent basis. Southampton's best moment was an 89th-minute winner by Matt Le Tissier to pull back from 2–1 down against runners-up Arsenal.

This was Southampton's final season at the Dell. After 103 years, they moved to the St Mary's Stadium on Brittania Road, which, with 32,000 seats, was more than twice the size of their old ground and seen by many as the way forward for the club.
