Southampton manager latest: Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers and former Monaco coach Jardim candidates to replace Mark Hughes
Southampton manager Mark Hughes faces the axe after Saturday’s 3-2 defeat by Fulham left Saints in the Premier League relegation zone.The south coast club are level on points with the bottom side – Fulham, their recent vanquishers – and only sit 18th because of their slightly better goal difference.2

Hughes faces the axe just eight months after being appointed Southampton manager

Hughes, the former Manchester City, QPR and Stoke manager, has come under increased pressure due to Southampton’s woeful form, just eight months after he was appointed boss at St Mary’s.Some bookies have Hughes as short as 1/2 to be the next Premier League manager dismissed, and if reports are to be believed, Saints chiefs are already assessing who could come in to succeed the 55-year-old.According to A Bola in Portugal, Leonardo Jardim is one of the contenders for the position. The 44-year-old has been out of work for just over a month having been sacked by Monaco, ending his excellent four-year spell in quite miserable fashion.Nevertheless, Jardim’s work with the principality club will go down in history; he helped develop the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Benjamin Mendy and Fabinho, won the 2016/17 Ligue 1 title ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, and also guided ASM to the Champions League semi-finals in the same season.2

Jardim is regarded as one of the finest coaches in world football despite his spell at Monaco ending poorly

He has been linked with bigger jobs – previous reports claim he could replace Jose Mourinho at Manchester United – but Saints are believed to be keeping tabs on Jardim.The report also names other candidates Southampton are believed to be looking at, with Brendan Rodgers, the Celtic manager, and unemployed Peter Bosz – formerly of Vitesse, Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv – on the club’s shortlist.
