Premier League: Southampton are still looking for a new manager

-

Who will Southampton look at next?

Their board have faced another disappointment as they look for someone to face the recently dismissed Nathan Jones.

It has been reported that the club ended their interest in making Jesse Marsch their new manager after talks broke down over the proposed length of contract.

It was believed that Marsch  had positive conversations with Southampton officials this week and was expected to succeed Nathan Jones. Having agreed to take over verbally, negotiations with the American faltered because Southampton were only prepared to offer him a contract until the end of the season. However, Marsch was hoping for a longer-term deal.

Rubén Sellés remains in the main job for now

First-team coach Rubén Sellés will continue to take the team in training and for Saturday’s match at Chelsea, with the 39-year-old emerging as a potential alternative to Marsch. Southampton could consider hiring an experienced coach to work alongside the Spaniard, who is highly regarded at St Mary’s.

Southampton’s board have had interest from a number of other candidates. This includes the former Everton manager, Frank Lampard, and the DC United manager, Wayne Rooney.

What are the fans saying?

Amy, one Southampton fan, said: "We just need to get this all sorted now. Someone with Premier League experience would be useful, but any figure with any personality would do now."

Danny Hughes added: "We are becoming a bit of a circus now. Just find someone, please. Anyone."

Regarding the Caretaker Manager's role being extended and the upcoming match v Chelsea, Ryan tweeted: "All we can do is back him now. He's been dealt a pretty rubbish hand. Chelsea isn't the worst team to face, they also aren't doing brilliantly."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
