Brighton chief Paul Barber is sorry seeing Nathan Jones sacked by Southampton.
Jones spent five season with the Seagulls as a player and had a second spell at the club in their coaching set-up prior to moving to Luton for the first time in 2016.
Barber told The Football Friendly this week, "I'm really sad for Nathan and sorry for the way it's worked out for him and Southampton.
I obviously don't know the ins and outs of how he was working at Southampton, I can only go from my experience of working with him for some years here.
"(He's) very passionate, very committed, very hard-working, incredibly diligent about the way he prepared his coaching sessions.
"He did very well at Luton, not so well at Stoke in difficult circumstances and obviously it's been very difficult for him in the 14 games he's had at Southampton. But he's a good guy Nathan, he will bounce back I'm sure and I wish him all the best."
