Southampton are reportedly considering hiring Coventry City manager Frank Lampard instead of Danny Rohl or Liam Rosenior, according to TBR Football correspondent Graeme Bailey. Saints decided to sack Ivan Juric on Monday after their immediate relegation back to the Championship was confirmed on Sunday following their 3-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Southampton Considering Lampard as Next Manager

Rohl and Rosenior remain the two frontrunners

Having announced Simon Rusk will take charge of the club for the rest of the season with Adam Lallana as his assistant, Sport Republic are now looking to make their eighth managerial appointment since Ralph Hasenhuttl left St Mary's in November 2022 - two-and-a-half years ago. Bailey says that Sheffield Wednesday's Danny Rohl and Strasbourg's Liam Rosenior are the two preferred options of the board - as GIVEMESPORT sources reported last month - but that Lampard is another candidate to look out for - especially if the Sky Blues miss out on promotion to the Premier League. The Premier League icon - described as "outstanding" by Leeds United boss Daniel Farke - has done an impressive job in the Midlands having replaced Mark Robins at the end of November, the Sky Blues were 10 points adrift of the Championship play-offs and just two above the relegation zone.
