Danny Rohl is report ably the top name to be he next permanent manager of Southampton, closely followed by Leroy Rosenior, but there is a new name being touted as a contender, one that many Saints fans won't be familiar with.
givemesport.co.uk have been suggesting that there is a third name on the shortlist to take over the hot seat at St Mary's and it is one that few will have heard of.
The man in question is Will Still manager of RC Lens in France.
The 32 year old is British, although he was born in Belgium to British parents.
He played for lower League Belgium clubs, before switching from playing to managing, starting off managing the U14's at Preston whilst studying at a college nearby, following his return to Belgium in 2014, he started to rise up the ranks in a series of jobs at clubs in the Belgium Pro league.
After de camping to Reims in France, he became caretaker manager at the club in October 2022 and started to build his reputation.
After taking Reims to 11th in Ligue 1 in 2023/24, he left by mutual consent to join Lens in June 2024.
At Lens he has prospered even more, taking the side to 11th in Ligue 1, despite having to sell players and now it seems he is on Saints radar and the mysterious third candidate after Rohl & Rosenior..
