Ralph Hasenhuttl Set To Return To Management
After 14 months out of the game the rumour mill is suggesting that Ex Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is ready to return to football management and he could be facing his old club this season
Talksport's chief football reporter Alex Crook has tweeted or is that X'ed that ex Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is ready to return to work and that Birmingham City who today sacked Wayne Rooney after only 15 games is a potential destination.
How much substance this rumour has is anyone's guess, if he is appointed then Hasenhuttl would be due a reunion with his former club in the first week of March when Saints travel to St Andrews.
However he could have a reunion with his former assistant at St Mary's Danny Rohl on February 10th when Birmingham travel to Hillsborough to take on Sheffield Wednesday.
Southampton supporters will speculate on just what Ralph could have achieved at the club had Rohl not left St Mary's for Bayern Munich, Ralph soldiered on without Rohl for several years but never quite found an assistant as good as Rohl with whom he had previously worked with at RB Leipzig.

Leeds crush Norwich to cruise through to play-off finalWith our recent form being what it was, I was expecting a nervy encounter, with Leeds struggling to get through the Norwich City defence, but how wrong I was! Suddenly we recovered the swagger we have shown for much of the season, and not a moment too soon.
Farke happy with the result after bore draw at NorwichMany neutrals have complained on social media that yesterday’s game at Norwich City was a bit on the dull side, but the Leeds team wasn't set up to please them. For us it was the result that mattered, and it should leave us in a better position to get through to the final.
Norwich AwaydazeFor the second time this season we are visiting Norwich City, this time for the play-off game at high noon on Sunday, and the kick-off time is of course thanks to our good friends at Sky Sports. You’ll find Carrow Road is about a mile to the south-east of the city centre.
QPR AwaydazeOur trip to Queens Park Rangers is at 8pm on Friday, thanks once again to our very good friends at Sky Sports. We’re not famous any more!
Crisis, what Crisis?As Mark Twain might have said, rumours of the death of our promotion hopes have been greatly exaggerated. Last night’s win at Middlesbrough was a hard watch towards the end, but the vital three points has got our campaign back on track.
