Next Southampton Manager Odds: Russell Martin Favourite For Saints Return
Following the departure of Will Still from Southampton, Russell Martin is the 7/4 favourite to become the next Saints manager with William Hill.
Having guided the club to promotion from the Championship in 2024, Martin has emerged as the frontrunner for the role despite his own recent dismissal from Rangers.
Michael Carrick is next in the betting at 11/2, with recently departed Celtic boss Brendan Rogers behind at 7/1, along with another former Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Lee Carsley follows at 8/1, with current Coventry manager Frank Lampard a 10/1 chance.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “After Russell Martin’s departure from Rangers, many thought that might be the last we’d see of him in the dugout for a while, but he has emerged as the favourite to return to Southampton.
“He is the current 7/4 favourite to return to St Mary’s ahead of Michael Carrick, who is a fair way back in the betting at 11/2. Brendan Rogers is a 7/1 shot alongside Ralph Hasenhuttl, who also had a stint managing the Saints. Lee Carsley isn’t out of it either at 8/1.”
