The next Southampton manager odds have been released owing to the serious doubts surrounding Tonda Eckert’s future at St Mary’s.
After the hugely publicised ‘Spygate’ scandal, it appears likely that Eckert may quit the Saints. Whether or not the club are found guilty by the FA. They have already been expelled from the Championship play-off final against Hull and have been deducted four points for the 2026-27 campaign.
The South Coast side have seen their reputation completely tarnished with the revelations that a number of staff members were involved in ‘Spygate.’ Prior to the first leg of the Championship play-off semi-final, it was revealed that someone from Southampton was retrieving information on opponents Middlesbrough. Directly from their training ground.
Since then, it has been said that Soton snoops were busy at work against Oxford (a game they lost 2-1), and against Ipswich (which was drawn 2-2). In fact, the club have confessed to these accusations and Eckert’s future is hanging by a thread.
And with that in mind, here at BetVictor News, we take a look at the most likely candidates who could replace the German gaffer.
Next Southampton Manager Odds Sees Scott Parker Top The Market
Heading the betting in the next Southampton manager odds market is Scott Parker. The Championship promotion specialist has led Bournemouth, Burnley and Fulham back into the promised lands in recent years.
Parker has only just parted company with the Clarets and at 5/1, he offer bettors plenty of potential. Although he has never quite hit the heights as a Premier League manager, he is certainly a safe pair of hands who would work hard to restore the club’s reputation.
John Mousinho, Liam Rosenior And Sean Dyche In The Running For Southampton Job
For those who are looking for slightly more value when it comes to Championship betting, the likes of John Mousinho (6/1), Liam Rosenior (6/1) and Sean Dyce (8/1) are worth considering. The former’s future at arch-rivals Portsmouth has come under the spotlight and a switch from Fratton Park to St Mary’s can’t be completely ruled out.
Mousinho is also favoured in the next Bristol City manager odds market. After his fine work at Pompey, he certainly won’t be short of offers.
As for Rosenior and Dyche, both are currently unattached. The recently-fired Chelsea boss would likely be happy to step down a division to hone his skills further. Dyche is a tried and trusted gaffer with plenty of experience who is used to challenging roles.
Ralph Hasenhuttl In Southampton Contention
Having managed the club previously in the Premier League, the next Southampton manager odds market has Ralph Hasenhuttl at 12/1. The Austrian still has a strong connection with the club and is available right now.
Hasenhuttl was sacked by Wolfsburg last year and he successfully kept the Saints up during his almost four-year tenure. If he was hired, promotion back to the top-flight would be his sole aim. A feat he has achieved while at 2. Bundesliga side FC Ingolstadt 04 in 2014-15.
