Mark Hughes was sacked by Stoke earlier this seasonMark Hughes has emerged as the early favourite to replace Mauricio Pellegrino, who was sacked by Southampton on Monday evening. Marco Silva (9/4)Silva has been linked with Southampton in the newspapers since mid-January when he left Watford. The Portuguese manager made his name in the Premier League when he took over at Hull in 2017 and even though he was unable to keep them in the Premier League, he earned a move to Watford last summer. He has Premier League experienced both at the top and bottom of the division, and may be tempted into a move back south. Seventy-one-year-old Harry Redknapp (25/1) would no doubt love a return to the Premier League, and 2012 title winner and Zenit manager Roberto Mancini (25/1) is on the list.
