With Nathan Jones losing his job at Southampton after just 14 games, we’re taking a look at the next permanent manager odds, as former favourite Jesse Marsch drifts out to 5/1 after talks break down.
Saints have won just one of their last six games in all competitions and Jones won just five matches as manager of the South Coast side.

It looks as if caretaker manager Ruben Selles is Premier League betting sites favourite to take over permanently and it’s now the second time he has been caretaker at Southampton.
Next Southampton Permanent Manager Odds
- Ruben Selles @ 8/11
- Jesse Marsch @ 5/1
- Steven Gerrard @ 9/1
- Mauricio Pochettino @ 16/1
- Sam Allardyce @ 16/1
- Marcelo Gallardo @ 20/1
- Nuno Espirito Santo @ 20/1
- Ivan Juric @ 25/1
- Rafa Benitez @ 25/1
Selles Likely To Finish Season
According to reports, Saints could make a short term gamble and keep Selles on until the end of the season as the permanent manager.
With relegation looking like a real possibility, it’d be handy for Southampton to have somebody in charge that they know and trust, and Selles could be that man with the club rating him very highly.
There’s a good chance that Selles stays permanently – at least until the end of the season, with Southampton reportedly looking to bring in somebody experienced to work alongside him as his No. 2 for the remainder of the campaign.
Poch Return?
One of the outsiders to take over from Jones is former boss Mauricio Pochettino, and is currently priced at 16/1 to return to his former club, where he spent a year and a half in charge before moving on to Spurs.
He was linked to the Leeds United job just last week, however nothing further surfaced from rumours of a return to English football for the Argentine.
The former Spurs and PSG boss steered Saints to survival when he took over during the 2012/13 campaign, before guiding the team to a top-half finish in his first full season in charge.
He also led Spurs to their highest Premier League finish and a first Champions League final during his five year stay in the capital.
