With Southampton manager-less and looking for someone to help them avoid relegation, Mark Hughes has emerged as a possibility.

The manager is out of work since he lost his position at Stoke City, and he has a history of playing for the south coast club.

Hughes has a good reputation in football, and would be the type of figure who could get more out of the players as they desperately attempt to avoid finishing in the bottom three of the Premier League.

Another possibility is the Portuguese manager Marco Silva, who recently lost his position at Watford.
