- Marsch left Elland Road on Monday
- Saints sacked Jones after Wolves loss
- Currently bottom of the Premier League
WHAT HAPPENED? After a dismal run of form that included just two league wins in 17 games, American boss Marsch was sacked by Leeds on Monday. However, after just a week of unemployment, the American may find himself back in the hot seat with manager-less Southampton interested in his services, according to The Athletic.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The hierarchy at Southampton think Marsch could be a good candidate due to him having a similar career path to ex-Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl. Both worked in the Red Bull system and have a play a similar style of football.
AND WHAT'S MORE: Southampton sacked Jones after a run of form that leaves them three points adrift at the bottom of the Premier League, having only won one game since the World Cup.
