Leicester City aren’t the only Premier League club to have made a managerial change this season.
After the Foxes decided to sack Steve Cooper in November, Leicester made the decision to appoint Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Leicester’s rivals were left worried that a change could see them pull away from the bottom three and in response, two Premier League rivals have followed suit.
Wolves sacked Gary O’Neil on Sunday and hours later Southampton also made the decision to part ways with Russell Martin.
Both clubs are working tirelessly to find a replacement as soon as possible and Southampton have been linked with one Championship boss that was considered for the Foxes job.

Southampton new manager news: Danny Rohl in talks to become new Saints boss
According to Sky Sports Deutschland, Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl is in talks to become the new Southampton head coach.
Rohl, 35, is said to be in the early stages of talks and that no formal negotiations have taken place so far,
The Wednesday manager was linked with the Leicester job shortly after Cooper’s dismissal but talks never advanced to an advanced stage.

Carlos Corberan was also linked to Leicester and the West Bromwich Albion boss has been linked with Wolves and Southampton.
Graham Potter is another name on the shortlist of candidates but given that Potter turned Leicester down, a move to either one is unlikely.
Who is the current longest serving Premier League manager?
Managerial changes are becoming more and more frequent as the stakes of Premier League survival become more intense.
Leicester were the second side to make a change after Manchester United sacked Erik ten Hag before Wolves and Southampton quickly joined in.
It means that the Foxes have the 18th-longest serving manager in the top flight already.
Meanwhile, leading at the top is Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, who has been in charge since July 2016.
