After sacking Nathan Jones last weekend, Southampton are on the hunt for a new manager and Frank Lampard has emerged as one of the favourites to take over at 12/1 with most bookmakers.
Frank Lampard has been out of a job since the end of January, when Everton sacked the boss after less than a year in charge of the Toffee’s.
Lampard struggled at Everton and a ten game winless streak, which left the club in 19th place with just 15 points, was enough to see him relieved of his duties.
Joining Everton down at the bottom of the table are Southampton, who have lost their last three in a row with Nathan Jones exiting St Mary’s just three months after taking charge.
Former Leeds boss Jesse Marsch was the favourite to take over from Jones at Southampton, however contract talks broke down between the American and the club after he demanded a long-term contract.

The current favourite to take over as Southampton manager is Ruben Selles, who is odds on with most Premier League bookmakers to be named the next boss of the struggling club. Lampard, however, remains a fairly short price as he looks for his next job.
Whoever does take over at Southampton will certainly have a tough task on their hands, as the side sit rock bottom of the Premier League four points away from safety. The Saints are 1/5 joint favourites to be relegated from the Premier League this season.
Lampard next job odds:
Southampton @ 12/1
West Ham @ 12/1
England @ 16/1
Leeds @ 100/1
