Southampton appointing former Rangers boss Russell Martin as their new manager ‘would be welcomed’ by senior players at the club.
Saints confirmed on Sunday evening that they have parted company with Will Still as boss, with a home loss to Preston North End in the Championship on Saturday sealing his fate.
The club are now on the hunt for a new manager and there is likely to be substantial interest in the post given the size of the budget at St Mary’s.
Already managers are being linked with the post and amongst them is Martin.
While Martin led Southampton to promotion to the Premier League when he was in charge, he struggled badly in the top flight.
He most recently was in charge of Rangers, but had a disastrous spell north of the border, with fans protesting for his removal and ultimately getting their wish amid poor results.
There is support at Southampton for Martin to return though.
