Talks between Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl and Premier League strugglers Southampton are reportedly ongoing.
Rohl has history with the Saints, having first arrived on British shores to form part of Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team at St Mary’s.

He is believed to be one of the top contenders for the role, which is currently being filled on a temporary basis by former York City midfielder Simon Rusk.
Rohl took charge of Wednesday in October 2023, becoming the youngest manager in the EFL at the age of 34.
He oversaw a significant improvement at Hillsborough, keeping the Owls afloat in the Championship despite the dismal start made under Xisco Munoz. This season, he has pushed Wednesday on again and his side sit ninth in the Championship table.
Southampton, meanwhile, are rock-bottom of the Premier League on a tally of just five points. They were promoted from the Championship last season via the play-offs, defeating Leeds United at Wembley to secure their place in the top flight.
